Finding Paradise Lost - Connecting Images to Text
Submitted by scotese on Mon, 2009-12-21 18:16
Teaching Level:
High School
This is a very simple lesson that consists of two pages - the first page has a series of pictures from Paradise Lost (done by different artists over the years) - the second page has a legend of those pictures and a chart for students to try and say which picture goes with which part of Milton's text - they must then give textual support to back up their choice. I like this exercise for the simple reason that it is simple and it sends students to the text which they must use to back up their point of view.
