Category: Education

Annotation Weems (English composition, Cleveland State U) argues that teaching students to think by integrating aesthetic appreciation, oral and written expression, and performance into the curriculum should be the primary goal of education. She presents her own poems and two plays as "exemplars of an astute, critical imagination-intellect" and urges that they be used in classrooms across the curriculum to explore issue of identity, racism, and sexism.
