Welcome to the Webinar
My purpose is to share some easy ways to “liven up” distance
education classes.
To get us started, here is an example lesson:Students have read Frankenstein, they’ve discussed themes, they’ve read literary criticism, they’ve discussed the novel in the online chat rooms.
They’re exhausted!
So, direct them to a few links that might interest them:
Frank and climate
Climate Connections: Signs
Did Climate Inspire the Birth of a Monster?by Nell Greenfieldboyce
NPR– a fabulous source
Direct students to NPR sites like this one where weird 19th Century climate is shown to have affected Frankenstein!
How to do this?
• - Using the Print Screen option on your computer keyboard, you can paste a screen image into your online delivery system. Either hyperlink it, or paste the web address there for students to find.
Or, another piece on Mary Shelley’s mother, Mary
Wollstonecraft.
A link to help introduce a text’s relevance…
After Students Have Listened, How Do I Connect This to the
Class?
• Students can write about what they’ve heard, blog their responses, or use the DE chat room for a graded discussion.
• The Poetry Archive at
poetryarchive.org has thousands of poets reading their own poetry, biographical and literary information are included.
The Poetry Archive is another great link…
The Poetry Archive lets you search their database of poets and listen to
readings.
Poet in Residence at the PoetryArchive.org(Students can join the conversation)
NYTimes.com has great articles and audio/video clips.
