12 Strategies for
Teaching Literature in the
21st Century 1. Use combinations of media–classic and modern together, leveraging one against the other. Music, video streams, short videos (like TikTok), video games, plays, poems, film, posters, poems, essays, novels, podcasts, etc 2. Have students analyze diverse media forms for their strengths and weaknesses–and involve both classic and digital forms. • 3. Have students turn essays into videos into podcasts into letters into simply-coded games into poems into apps. (See also #7.) 4. Allow students to choose media while you choose themes and/or academic and/or quality standards. 5. When designing units, choose the media first, then the standards (yes, this likely goes against what you were taught–but give it a try). 6. Insist all student work ‘leaves the classroom’ and is published–then design units accordingly. Thank Thank you!!! you!!!
