I am now in the midst of creating a syllabus for my two literature classes. I should know exactly what to do but I don't. I have no idea what I want to teach in one of my classes. None of my students were required to do any summer reading so I'm making the assumption that most of them have not. Most 9th grade literature teachers use Romeo and Juliet which I love but I'd like to challenge them with something more interesting. Perhaps a revenge tragedy? I have to think about it. I've been wanting to teach Titus Andronicus for a while now but only because I think that blood and gore would make the students interested in Sir Will.
What to do, what to do?
