^That's what choices are about. We had a choice between Brave New World and A Tale of Two Cities in Grade 12. I choose the latter. My hindsight says I should have read the former, but such is life. I didn't enjoy my choice much. But it is hit and miss. I liked Of Mice and Men when I read it when I was 16 and I really disliked Moby Dick when I read it when I was 30. There's no choice out there that's going to appeal to all the kids in the class, but having some choice might generate a little more interest in the readers.
When it came time for discussion, the teacher just split the class and some worked on some assignments and the rest did discussion and then we switched back and forth over a few classes.
