Think back to when you were back in grade school. For English, your teachers ALWAYS gave you the absolute worst reading assignments. But, at least for me, one thing that made kids excited was the ability to go to the library and choose their own books - and quite often, we'd take a look over at the "Goosebumps" brand Choose Your Own Adventures. Many people still have fond memories of those books to this day, and honestly, who can blame them?

Now, my question is, why have most teachers not caught onto this yet? Why not give the kids a chance to analyze and study these books they love so much? I mean, just look at what our class has done, and we're in college! It's not too far fetched to think that maybe taking a more hands-on and entertaining approach to reading assignments may benefit the kids being taught now. I mean, I know I would assign Goosebumps "Night of the Werewolf" over some of the stuff they're reading nowadays.
