Literature and the Moral Imagination

Abstract

For this unit, I will explore phenomenal concepts which are basically memories acquired based on personal experiences. The memories are triggered involuntary through scents, songs, and stories. The curriculum will use Navajo poets and authors who have written poems and stories about the Navajo experiences, something that the students can relate to. The types of poetry I want to explore include poems that are rhythmic and semiotic complexities. My second-grade students including the English Learners, special needs students, and all the other students require gestures, images, or objects to help them retain content.
