Teach with literature
22/04/11 21:18
Literature has the power to capture the imagination of students. Take verses from Rime of the Ancient Mariner:
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.
Or the now famous:
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
The deeply affective nature of good literature works through the beauty of the language, and the universal themes it contains. Mature students know when they encounter something deep and universal.
