Challenges of Teaching Literature
- Engagement
- Fun? Collaborative? Connected to Students?
- Critical Thinking
- Considering sources, points of view, tone, etc.
- Intimidation
- Writing is hard. Some literature is hard.
- Access and Relevance
- When will we ever use this?!
My Approach
AI is one of the most relevant skill sets for the future; Literature is also relevant, but AI brings Buy-in.
Students want a place to start; don't make them start from a blank page.
Students Engage when they are able to play, do, collaborate, and make choices.
Intimidation
Engagement
Relevance
Reading Literature requires inference, visualization, sentiment analysis; AI can support students in those tasks.
Using AI requires students to examine the product. This examination is literacy, too.
Kids are tempted to/Going to Use AI. I need to help them use it well (as a tool).
Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking
Intimidation
Three Projects/Activities

03
Poetry
Shakespeare
Better than Sparknotes
Giving students a collaborative project to help visualize and discuss Romantic Poetry
Thinking about soliloquies from Hamlet visually to unpack meaning.
Embracing what is "easy" to augment what they produce.
Your Turn!
Time to play! Take one of the three activities on the previous slide and make it your own.
- Make an activity for your students to visually interpret poetry.
- Play around with making a visual poem in padlet; what poem would you use?
- How could you structure an assignment to start with an AI rough-draft, so students can build towards something excellent?
On the next slide, is a link to a padlet, so you can share your experience and ideas. Need a tool to get started: Canva Magic Studio, Padlet, and Bing Copilot are free with entry-level AI components.
Bonus Activities
Change the speaker of a poem
Compare an AI summary to your own
Interview Victor Frankenstein
Your Turn!
Take one of the three bonus prompts and make your own chat-bot resource/activity.
- Copy the literary character prompt, and create a different character for your students to interview:
- Kindergartners would love to hear from Bluey or Daniel Tiger.
- Try out a character from the Wings of Fire books.
- Have 9th graders pick the brain of Romeo or Juliet.
- Use a Chatbot to summarize a poem or piece of literature, then compare it to your summary.
- Take a poem and change the speaker's voice, what changes? What stays the same?
On the next slide, you can share your experience and ideas on the same padlet. Need a tool to get started: ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, or Perplexity offer easy to access chatbots.
Thank you!
