Episode 10: Building Skills for Close Reading

Literaturely kicks off its newest series--Building Skills--with an in-depth discussion on developing students' close reading skills. Paige and Margaret discuss how they help their students learn to read for a literature course and prepare a strong foundation for subsequent skill sets. What language do we use to introduce close reading and critical reading? What do we read for when we read for class? What mini assignments can we use to better prepare our students? We'd love to hear your thoughts, comments, and questions! Share your experiences, questions, and comments with us on Twitter with @Literaturely101, on Instagram at LiteraturelyPodcast, or via email at LiteraturelyPodcast@gmail.com!

Om Podcasten

We are two friends who love teaching literature just as much as we love talking. Over the past five years or so, we have each taught a range of literature courses in a variety of contexts. Our experiences prompted us to think about what it means to teach literature in a twenty-first century classroom. In our podcast, we create a place to discuss literature pedagogy, consider the hurdles and concerns the majority of literature teachers will face, form a community to encourage collaboration, work through our own journey and questions, and share our general love for pedagogy. Let's craft our dream course together! Join in the conversation at our website: https://literaturely.wixsite.com/podcast
