Description

Teaching literature in high school is about connecting the past, the present, and the future with the imagination. The study of literature can be fun, relevant, and meaningful for all students if we focus on inspiring creative and curious thinkers and writers. This podcast will deal with new technologies, consciousness, identity, love, classroom culture, omniscient narration, rhythm, and all the other topics related to teaching English. Visit www.theteachersworkshop.com to find more resources for secondary ELA (English language arts) teachers. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-cameron6/support
