Rote Memorization and Making Meaning: Poe, The Raven, The Simpsons, Critical Thinking and the Zone of Proximal Development Maggie Tarbox EDU 511 Poster Project Eastern Connecticut State University Summer 2006

Please take a moment to listen to my students' rendition of the first Stanza of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven.   They were able to retrieve, and recite, from memory the poem and many biographical facts about Poe nearly eight months after we completed the unit. Then please click on the title of the page, above, to link to my poster session.  Thanks!
