Unfortunately, my experience is simply being told to read it then write a book review of it to present to the class. This is started by passing out a list of classics and having each student pick a different one.
There is no discussion on the book afterwards: child abuse, racism, interracial romances, and classism of the time could be have all been brought up in Withering Heights, but they were not. Only literature tools like symbols and metaphors were touched.
