I'm going to be working with a group on the campus I attend hoping to develop students who havn't read as much into better analytical readers. I think many students who end up in English classes (especially where I go) still lack the necessary tools to truly understand a text, and most of the time just see it the way the teacher says, (not that this is necessarily a bad thing but to truly understand a book students should be able to figure out what it means on their own). I go to a Community College so the reading level does vary a lot. Many students have even finished a book in their lives and are suddenly thrust into an intellectual atmosphere they are not ready for.
My plan is to teach a book as an example of how to properly analyze a text, so how to ask the right questions and that sort of thing. The problem is this program needs to take place in-between their classes. I'm looking for some brief literature which has some sort of analytical value to it, you know something that begs to be asked questions about. Where you're not quite sure what it means immediately and only upon contemplation come to realize; something that you can discuss.
I was thinking an essay or short story but am still open minded and am looking for input.
So what you guys go
