Experience #1 Literature/ Reading - Friday Reading Days

Growing up doing reading days allowed me and other students to individualize our reading experiences. I always loved these days because of how independant it allowed us to be, specifically these days during my freshman year of highschool. During my freshman year of highschool I opted out of being in the advanced English class offered at my high school so that meant that I was in the class for the less advanced kids in the high school... yes I'm talking about the dumb kid class. Anyway! because I was in the dumb kid class, I had the dumb kid teacher this was the teacher who did the bare minimum to teach us what we needed to pass the tests, never  more and never less than that. Regardless of the grade point average of the kids in my class, I really enjoyed it. The class was easy, there was hardly ever any homework (mainly because no one did it if we had any) and I got to have free reading fridays which I used to actually indulge in reading that I enjoyed. I think that I can use this experience to A. Show me the way the wrong way of running a classroom full of students that are behind in their education and B. Give me a good example of running a productive free reading friday. Free reading fridays were in my opinion the only thing that was ran well in his classroom, everything else we just stumbled through and hoped for the best.
