Text Debriefing-Webb

I think Literature & Lives by Allen Webb is an enjoyable text. It is interesting to read and fun to read some of the experiences he had as a teacher. I think this is a great text for English 4800 because I think each student can find something useful within the book. It was not the average text that most students are used to here at WMU.
I like how we discussed each chapter in this book within the class period. I am not sure how you could do things differently but it would be cool to see that happen next semester for parts of it. I personally did not like the last chapter of the book. It was boring and didn't really close out the book too well. I was a little disappointed that we ended this book with that particular chapter.
I do not think I will be keeping this book as a resource for my teaching. I think Webb has some great insight in this book, although I think it mostly serves its purpose in an undergraduate class like this, instead of the actual teaching world. I will say that the only reason I would keep it is because of the chapter on Homelessness. I really enjoyed reading this chapter and I think it is a great theme to teach in a high school classroom setting.
Overall, great book for class, not so much to put on my book shelves in my own classroom.
