| Abstract: | This portrait of a middle school literature classroom is one of a series of several such portraits which depict diverse classroom settings of high school literature, and which result from the second year of a teacher-research project in the greater Albany, New York area. This article portrays teacher Will Blake and his honors class at an urban middle school exploring Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn," and notes the sense of community in Blake's classroom which allows for many learners and many teachers.
