Smith College's Moodle

Welcome to Teaching Literature!  This course is designed to provide meaningful opportunities for diving into how and why we teach literature by experimenting with connecting theory and practice and crafting inclusive, culturally and linguistically sustaining, and evidence-based lesson plans.  We will workshop lessons in class during which we will practice teaching, receive and give feedback, and reflect on our teaching practices and lessons.  Our work supports and grounds our major assignments: a statement of teaching philosophy, lesson plans, and a unit plan.  Outside of class, you will explore a variety of pedagogical content that will inform your teaching philosophy and lesson design.
