[quote=Anonymous]I think the curriculum has changed in many school districts to allow many more modern selections that are more appealing to kids. I am always thrilled when I see a teacher who teaches the classics and finds a way to do so creatively and engagingly, but it's tough. A friend of mine teaches Shakespeare to low-level tenth graders by using an accompanying text that is a graphic novel-- he teaches both texts side by side, so they learn the Shakespeare but gain a better understanding of what's going on, and stay engaged, by also reading the graphic novel.[/quote]
