What might get in the way?

1. students who come to HS already defeated - feeling like they can't succeed in reading - providing enough background knowledge to be successful- or choosing activities in the communities in which students have a great deal of bg knowledge
   
2. active participants vs passive learning, how does it relate to their lives, provide opps for enjoyable reading
3. time, money/resources, assessment pressures
