A workshop for middle, high school, community college, and senior college instructors to develop lesson plans for use in the Fall 2023 - Spring 2024 semesters.
Commonplacing in the twenty-first century allows us to re-envision the study of Romanticism as a force for connecting globally, yet intimately, and sharing creatively through our love of Romantic-era texts. In addition to introducing teachers and classes to examples of nineteenth-century commonplace books and commonplacing methods, we'll encourage students of all levels (middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college undergraduates at senior and community colleges) to create commonplace books of their own or contribute to our digital, communal commonplace book designed for the Keats-Shelley Association of America. We also encourage students to make their favorite passages and poems their own by recording their own voices or translating and reading poems in different languages.
