Literary criticism should be utilized “in order to make what is implicit in a book finely explicit” (Bloom, 2000, p. 19). Readers, students and teachers, should use the tools of critical literary theory and not be used by them.

I created this model of using critical literary theory lens

Fight Against SPARKNOTES!
Like most teachers, early on in my career I gave reading quizzes as a means of holding students accountable for their reading assignments.

As a result, my quizzes had one of two unintended consequences. I wound up either writing a quiz that encouraged students to take shortcuts, or I made a quiz
