Chapter 3 was interesting, I learned who Louise Rosenblatt was. "The reader, the text, and the poem. Everything just make so much sense. The paragragh in the text "Living Literature" on page 39, states "the reader brings a unique set of experiences...teachers don't control what readers get from the text nor should they try to." I believe it, because when I read, I am imagining in my own mind a scenery that no one else can picture but me. Therefore, when a child is reading aesthetically, they are picturing their own thoughts and scenery in their mind, the children should be able to imagine and have their own thoughts. I guess the "text" part is like once the author has written it, it is just there, inactive, until, the reader takes hold of it. Every reader will have a different perspective because every reader has a different background. Either way, I thought Rosenblatt's stance was awsome.
The one thing I do like is having the student tell the story from their own perspective (retellings), to make sure they understood the story. Another idea I like is having the students act out the story, it would be fun for them and at the same time the teacher knows that they have grasped the story.
By the way, I like the word "LEXICON" it sounds so strong, and if you think about it, basically it is because it is all the words your brain knows, that is cool! It sounds like a name from the Transformers movie , "LEXICON"! lol.

That is true when we are reading or the child is reading they have their own interpretation of the material given to them. LEXICON does sound like a Transformer name. lol
