Collaborative Learning and American Literature.

Hawkes, Peter

College Teaching, v39 n4 p140-44 Fall 1991

In a college-level U.S. literature course at East Stroudsburg University (Pennsylvania), traditional lecture and Socratic questioning establishes background; and collaborative learning is used to help students examine the central questions about the text that remain unanswered.
