Teacher Process

This assignment takes approximately two ninety-minute class periods. 

This assignment is one project in a unit on Romanticism and Transcendentalism. It is essential that background information on this movement is provided prior to introducing this project.

I am fortunate to have a laptop cart in my classroom. If this is not the case in your classroom, I would recommend reserving your computer lab for a minimum of one hour.

The best part of this assignment is hearing what the students have to say. At our poetry cafe  I provide  iced  decaffeinated latte, which we sip while the students perform their work and the slideshows play on a screen beside them. And of course, we snap instead of clap.
