Pop Perspectives: Readings to Critique Contemporary Culture Reviews

  • Yarg Notnih

    Now more than ever, pop culture deserves a place in our classrooms. People are constantly engaging it and often we do not perceive it. The cultural awareness aspect of this book alone warrants its usefulness to teachers in high schools. How often do we try and connect classics like Beowulf to modern day things such as that awful movie adaptation! I think that deconstructing pop culture using the "meta language" Florence mentioned that we teach is a much more pragmatic approach to building meaning and connection to literature. Yay for this book! (I can use grammar 1 for a review can't I?)

    I hate these kinds of readers. Really, let's pander to the laziness of the student and give them essays that are full of fluff and meaningless drivel. Sorry, Charlie and Charlotte, not in my class.
