We do just the opposite- in fact a Senior AP class just left the library ---
and the assignment is to look over the books read the last 4 years and to
check Masterplots for each title. The library owns several sets of
Masterplots and all English and Social Studies teachers encourage their use.

It doesn't make any difference to us if the students use them - it helps to
clarify plot or characters for some -- and any testing that is done on the
books is creative and a plot summary wouldn't actually help - only clarify.
