After reading about the endless back and forth about whether this should be taught, I finally read it for my adolescents and literature class. A word on to-teach-or-not-to-teach issue: I'm not in favor of censorship per se (n.b.: that per se is a joke), but Cormier isn't exactly scrimping on the masturbation and violence here, so maybe it would be sub-awesome to include this in the curriculum if you think your students might be incited to tittering by sentences such as, "The exhilaration of the moment vanished and he sought it in vain, like seeking ecstasy's memory an instant after jacking off and encountering only shame and guilt." On page five. Note to potentially controversial authors of young adult lit: maybe try to stick these references a little further along in the narrative? Anyway, I found it very interesting, particularly since I think the Bryn Mawr curriculum would have been more likely to include Tropic of Cancer or Justine or something than this. Too much of a boy book. So I've grown quite fixated on how (perhaps the better question is why--if I wind up writing a rationale for inclusion in a curriculum for the book, I'll include it below) you might teach this to a class of girls. The best I can come up with is that it would be really interesting in conjunction with [an excerpt from] Clifford Geertz, i.e. as an exercise in cultural analysis, understanding systems of belief, etc. Or perhaps in comparison to Mama Lola, which was really a revelatory text for me after I realized that Karen Brown was doing her research on voodoo priestesses a subway ride away from Manhattan. I think we would all be more interested in social anthropology or ethnography if the texts were less like "Coming of Age in Samoa" and more like "Coming of Age as a Voodoo Priestess Somewhere on the MTA Subway Grid." I know I would. More probably, I think it would be fun to compare it to Friday Night Lights, maybe in relation to a piece of the theory, and to have students do some kind of cultural analysis of something highly familiar and then depict it in either fiction or non-fiction. Whatever. My big concern with writing a whole series of lessons about The Chocolate War geared toward a single-sex classroom is that we just read a book about transgender and spent quite a long time problematizing the entire concept of gender and how curricula should really be working to break the gender dichotomy, so by writing a lesson designed for a single-sex classroom I could really look like, what is the word I am looking for here, a schmuck. A big schmuck. A big, transgender-neglecting schmuck.
