{"pk":40305,"title":"Chanticleer in the Classroom","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Arising from the perspective of an English teacher, composer, and musical storyteller who uses harp/guitar and voice, bardic and troubadourial instruments, to teach texts in their original media (e.g., Odyssey, Beowulf) or in ones prevalent in the texts' time and evocative of the story's era (Macbeth, The Canterbury Tales), this article discusses how teaching literature through music and performing songs about the text can make the reading more accessible to secondary school students, how she has written a song specifically retelling The Wife of Bath's Prologue and her Tale from Sir Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, explains the background of the song, and illustrates how using it and others of its nature could help Chaucer's work and literature, medieval or otherwise, come alive for students in new -- and very old -- ways.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives  4.0","short_name":"CC BY-NC-ND 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
