A Look Back: Literature and Pedagogy, 1908 and 1934:
Before reading the texts below, please take your time and put down your idea of
- why we should read literature in school
- how it should be taught or read in school and
- what you consider good literature education.
Just take about ten minutes to think about this and take down some notes. You do not need to write a whole text.
Please send your notes to soeren.koopmann@uni-oldenburg.de
Incoming notes will be organised in an anonymised list for discussion next week.
Questions for discussing these two articles:
- What claims do the authors make about literature?
- What do they say about the current practice of teaching literature?
- What do they say about how literature should be taught?
- What roles do factors such as race/class/gender play in their views?
- in case you are curious about a poem mentioned by Sampson, here is the link to the enotes.com page on Ozymandias
