   Preface to the Lyrical Ballads: Teaching Romanticism

   If you teach British Romanticism to your high school students, you should work William Wordsworth's Preface to the Lyrical Ballads into your prep. Jay and Paul dig through the Preface and talk about its importance to teaching the Romantic Movement. Jay opens with a pitch perfect poem, Seamus Heaney's "Digging", a Wordsworthian poem if there ever was one. #EdChat (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/edchat), #Humanities (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/humanities), #TeacherLife (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/teacherlife), #HighSchoolTeacher (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/highschoolteacher), #edutwitter (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/edutwitter) #teachertalkwithpaulandjay (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/teachertalkwithpaulandjay) #english (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/english) #englishteacher (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/englishteacher) #classics (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/classics) #classicalliterature (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/classicalliterature) #pedagogy (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/pedagogy) #highschoolenglish (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/highschoolenglish) #literature (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/literature)
