When I was a young teacher, I learned something which continued to be important to me throughout my career as a teacher, pre-school-post-graduate university students, and as a librarian: to snuff out an incipient and active discussion because my program plans dictated a different topic was killer to the energy of the discussion that was taking place, e.g., "Not today children"--or whomsoever. So--your plan book say Shirley Hughes but folk are involved with Jones and Rowling.
Good pedagogy says,--go with Jones and Rowling and maybe in a week or two Hughes, et alii can return.
Yes? No?
