Intellectual sponges is how I characterize my A.P. English Literature and Composition students. Once I used the word "existential" in a discussion of the character of Edgar in "King Lear," my sponges have demanded a unit that includes the history of existential philosophy and a work of literature that makes it all make sense. Making sense of existentialism--now that is a challenge! My kids, I mean sponges, do not get to read their own copies of books--they must read from a class set. With this special request, they need a copy to read at home, giving them the time to digest the subtleties of the novel and to contemplate the questions they want to discuss.
