hi john,
i was going to recommend Hayles, too, actually.
my suggestion is, make a study guide for each reading and make it part of
their grade, if possible. something they have to turn in. this gets them to
read.it can be a few pages, with fill in questions, or short answers,
multiple choice. its a good way to review the texts yourself. hope this is
ok, for me to suggest this..
