Abstract

Abstract:This personal essay traces my experiences as both a reader and teacher of The Grapes of Wrath over the course of the last twenty-five years, in my capacity as a high school teacher of Advanced Placement English Literature. The opening line makes clear that the piece is not a lesson plan, nor a curriculum guide, but rather an attempt to show the degree to which the book has been important to me personally, and to show the ways I've found to make it accessible to my students. This essay includes scenes with my students, as well as research to provide background information about Steinbeck, about the censorship of the work, about the work of Dorothea Lange, about Frank Galati's adaptation of the novel for the stage, which I directed in my capacity as theater teacher.
论《愤怒的葡萄》的教学
摘要:这篇个人文章追溯了我在过去25年里作为《愤怒的葡萄》的读者和老师的经历,我是一名高级英语文学的高中老师。开场白清楚地表明,这篇文章既不是课程计划,也不是课程指南,而是试图展示这本书对我个人的重要性,并展示我找到的让学生能够阅读的方法。这篇文章包括与我的学生们的场景,以及提供斯坦贝克的背景信息的研究,关于作品的审查制度,关于多萝西娅·兰格的作品,关于弗兰克·加拉蒂将小说改编成舞台剧,这是我以戏剧老师的身份执导的。
