Episode 3: Dramatically Teaching

In this episode, we have a guest co-host, Ramsey, Mathews, joining us to discuss teaching dramatic works in a literature class. Ramsey has a PhD in poetry, a masters in American drama, and a couple of acting credits to his name! He shares his approaches to teaching dramatic literature from William Shakespeare to Suzan-Lori Parks and beyond. We consider Ramsey's insights into structuring a drama course, the skills necessary for reading a play, the types of assignments he likes to use, and more. This conversation is a must for anyone interested in teaching dramatic works in their own course! We'd love to hear about your approaches and questions for teaching dramatic works!

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
