My 9th grade English teacher read the Iliad to us, explaining words and phrases as he went along. It was an incredible experience. He also read Romeo and Juliet in the same way. I considered it a great gift to allow us to experience the truly great literature at that age, in a way that I think most of us could understand and appreciate.
- hwestiii 6y agoI think I would have liked this. I had a 6th grade teacher who read aloud to us daily, something more age appropriate, though, and this experience a remarkably large, and fond component of my recollection of those days. Unfortunately I was promoted right into an "innovative" program of "individualized learning" which ultimately crashed and burned in about 6 years, but consumed all of my middle school years. I didn't really encounter anything comparable again until high school
- Slaren 6y agoI would say to myself that you must choose carefully and knowingly when it comes to books so that you do not read just anything. Classics like Romeo and Juliet are worth learning, of course. It is also curious because there are the same gender roles. At https://studydriver.com/romeo-and-juliet/ https://studydriver.com/romeo-and-juliet/ I found interesting information about this subject. I think it should be useful for those who love this work, which has actually become a cultivation and is still focused on its gender characteristics today.
