We are going to walk you through a lot of stuff/materials today. It’ll feel like a whirlwind, but we really want to show you as much as possible. We will post this to our website by tomorrow, so don’t feel like you need to write everything down.
A little bit of pun fun. English teachers live for their literature and try to make it come alive and infuse with enthusiasm and humor for their students. Retrieved from: http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/e/english_teacher.asp, March 15, 2011.
Which gets increasingly more difficult, unless we link literature to popular culture and technology trends, which is why we’re all here. Now let’s walk through some engaging, interactive, and multi-media learning resources that you and your students can take advantage of, that won’t put anyone to sleep.
Short (5 min) audio discussion of characters that are important in American culture. Often also includes links to video clips. It doesn't cover a huge number of characters, but it has some good ones, including Henry Fleming (Red Badge), Willie Stark (All the King's Men), Troy Maxson (Fences), Captain Ahab (Moby-Dick), Hester Prynne (Scarlet Letter), Holden Caulfield (Catcher in the Rye), and others from American lit. (Also has lots of fun pop culture characters, like Darth Vader and Cartman.) http://www.npr.org/series/17914370/in-character
This is a site from the UK, but I think it's totally helpful for US ELA teachers and students as well. This site has two anthologies of English language poetry (all great titles, including poets like Shakespeare, Keats, Tennyson, Dickinson, Hopkins, Blake, and Browning). For every poem it covers, it offers the full text, some "points to ponder," analysis, and - best of all - two different (professional) readings (usually one from a man and one from a woman). It's awesome to hear the different ways the same poem can be read. http://www.rewardinglearning.org.uk/microsites/poetryanthologies/index.asp
Not sure how useful this is, but I find it cool. It's a collection of interviews of authors asking them about their writing routines. Might have some good snippets for writing classes. Includes writers like CS Lewis, Flaubert, Auden, Kafka, Munro, Morrison, and Hemingway. http://dailyroutines.typepad.com/daily_routines/writers/
Lots of great audio and video courses and lectures available on literature and writing. Some examples: an entire course on Tolkien; lectures on Oedipus the King, Candide, Hamlet, and the Aeneid from Stanford (Literature of Crisis); The American Novel Since 1945 from Yale, etc. http://www.apple.com/education/itunes-u/whats-on.html
Students use Google Earth to explore literature. Currently it doesn't cover a ton of titles, but has some good ones. Examples: The Kite Runner, The Aeneid, Grapes of Wrath, Macbeth, Night, The Odyssey, Fever 1793, Walk Two Moons. http://www.googlelittrips.org/
A great resource for Today in Literature/History type topics. Also includes a poem a day. You can read it or listen to the 5 minute podcast every day. http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/
This website collects the favorite poems from all sorts of people, from professors to constructions workers to students. Each poem has a video to go with it, where the person says why it's their favorite poem and then read the poem. http://www.favoritepoem.org/
Just found this one too! Seems cool and very interactive. Explores Shakespeare through the lens of "Pen to Print" and "Stage to Screen." http://broadband.ciconline.org/shakespeare/
Great scholarly info, interview, and criticism. This site is hosted by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/
Objective: Students listen to NPR reporter Lynn Neary's five-minute interview of Ray Bradbury, Tim Hamilton, and others, and comment on the details and challenges involved in adapting his novel to graphic format. Students answer critical questions about the piece, participate in classroom discussion, and create their own representation of the book. Teachers can expect to spend about 30-50 minutes on classroom discussion and possibly one or two more class periods for students to present original work.
