When you teach a novel in class, do you assign pages for students to read at home? They never do it! How can we finish anything?

I read a chapter to begin the class, they read the next 1-2 chapters overnight.

It definitely depends on the class. Lots of kids don't read outside of class. I guess you just keep on keepin on.

Give short random pop quizzes, use ZipGrade to make grading easier for you. All classes first day, only 2 hours the next day, etc. including none.
This year I gave one in chapter 1, only 5 questions, but told them. Chapter 2 we did a short answer “quiz” (I didn’t count it) on the back of their homework, with me explaining why I chose each question, then explaining the answers. It’s a teachable skill.
I will say more of them REALLY read the book this year, compared to last year.

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?
