Episode 6: Teaching Passing

This is the first episode of our latest miniseries: Teaching Texts. In each of these episodes, we select one novel or literary work to deep-dive into its potential pedagogical uses! In this episode, Paige and Margaret talk about Nella Larsen's masterpiece Passing. With Netflix's recent adaptation, there is more potential than ever for Passing's place in the classroom. We discuss passages, assignments, critical questions, and more. What other individual works should we explore? We'd love to hear about your experiences teaching Passing and your suggestions for future episodes!

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
