Description

As October rolls in, join us for a haunting exploration of Gothic literature in the classroom. In this episode, we'll uncover new ways to approach Gothic Literature.


Discover how to:



  • Transform literary analysis into a spooky architectural adventure

  • Layer Gothic elements across classic and contemporary works

  • Apply critical approaches that slice into texts like judges on a baking show

  • Use modern twists like The Sixth Sense to illuminate timeless themes


Lets reflect on the challenges of October teaching and how Gothic literature can be a bridge to deeper engagement. From Macbeth to Mexican Gothic, from yellow wallpaper to silver screens, I'll share how I'm creating rigorous, engaging lessons that resonate with today's students.
