Digital Storytelling
Submitted by blsams on Wed, 02/04/2009 - 10:52When I taught English, I loved to tell stories to my students about the lives of the poets and authors we were studying. I liked reading literary biographies anyway, so I figured I could add some depth to the curriculum. For example, when we studied Modern Poetry and figures such as Wallace Stevens, Hart Crane, and E.A. Robinson, I ended (or began…or both!) each day with a little tale from William Pritchard’s Lives of the Modern Poets.
