  10. #romcon How do we make this novel as interesting as possible?
  11. #romcon Satan and Eve are the romantic couple in FftS. Only when Eve is released from constraints can she save Satan.
  12. #romcon Nope, can't do it. Too much to cover. 140 characters can't cut it. Brilliant close reading of Flowers from the Storm.
  13. #romcon Romance really rewards close reading, far from switching off analytical parts of the brain.
  14. #romcon I've heard this paper a number of times and it's briliant every time. I'll see if I can do it justice.
  15. @BookThingo Definitely in US high school classroom.
  16. #romcon Eric Murphy Selinger, DePaul University, USA: “How to Teach a Romance Novel (And Learn from One, Too)”
  17. #romcon Assumes that students want to make connections b/t outside lives and in class lives. But appropriation by teacher may not be good.
  18. #romcon Rhetorical genre theory=not just classification of texts, but of sociial actions.
  19. #romcon Need to be careful about how we discuss romance reading practices. Don't pathologize or romanticiize.
  20. #romcon Including romance is esp. important in relation to gender issues, where gender is learned and taught thru curricular choices.
