It’s an excellent piece of literature, but as we know, that doesn’t always mean it’ll be a good teaching text…however, this one is both. Students really engaged with it and produced good discussion and writing. So far, one class has finished it and I think it was a success. ![]() I have two sections of Provincial Upgrading English (basically, an equivalent to Grade 12 English for adults). This is the first semester I’ve used David Chariandy’s novel Brother as a teaching text. ![]()
