Engagement’S Mediation Of The Relationship Between Personalized Learning And Achievement, John-Patrick Grant Clark
Dissertations

Shaking Up Shakespeare: Teaching For The Contemporary High School English Classroom, Megan Sampson
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Contemporary high school English students find Shakespeare distant because they believe Shakespeare is hard to understand. Pairing Shakespeare with thematically-similar contemporary texts can make his works more accessible to students. Using different angles on the same theme shows students that Shakespeare presented some universal issues that still have relevance today. The Literacy Design Collaborative modules included within this thesis use Shakespeare in cooperation with other texts to focus on a specific theme. Using the module structure, teachers can organize the unit’s overarching goals and can include all handouts and necessary materials. This structure of design incorporates literacy-centered practices in order …
