My classroom will incorporate lesson plans which include graphic novels. We will use two graphic novels, one for "Beowulf" and one for "Macbeth." The students will also study the traditional text, and a translation of both traditional texts. The graphic novels will add a depth of understanding to traditional readings and give visual learners a chance to interact with the texts. We will also be watching clips from the film version of "Beowulf" and a video recording of "Macbeth." The use of multimedia for the contemporary student allows for an enriching experience. We will be comparing and contrasting all versions of the texts, films/plays and will work on small group projects and a Socratic Seminar--which is an excellent discussion platform for students. My school has a diverse student population and interacting with multicultural literature is vital to students being fully engaged in the texts we read. My students will be engaging texts with contemporary situations and characters. I have chosen texts with characters, themes, and plots that my students can find meaning with and opportunities for empathy. My students are going to connect with classic texts in new ways and also experience multicultural contemporary literature. My classroom will seek to synthesize, redefine and stretch the traditional literary canon (AKA the greatest hits) for the contemporary student.
