I majored in Secondary English, so I will be most concerned with helping children understand the Great Works and showing them how to be better writers. With this goal in mind, I will use Internet sites for a wider range of information. Also, I will use movies to improve the students comprehension of Shakespeare. The plays are more understandable if seen as well as read. Finally, I hope to use music to explain poetry.
Songs are something children hear everyday.
If I can show a child the same elements that exist both in poetry and music, he may understand the lesson better. The lesson may also stay with him longer than the hour he took to learn it.
