“Ekphrasis: An Exploration of Poetry Inspired by Art” is a multidisciplinary Open Educational Resource that showcases ekphrastic poems in the public domain alongside the artworks that inspired them. Collections of resources about each poem and the associated artwork both complement and supplement the poems. Resources include biographical information about the poet, and the artist where applicable, as well as articles, videos, audio files, presentations, and podcasts illuminating the historical significance of each work of literature and piece of art.

This lesson is aimed at adults who interrupted their education due to multiple problems. The purpose is to develop reading and writing skills while learning essential information about the musical genre of jazz.

In this lesson students will examine the characters in a chapter who happen to have differing view points. This is an important factor for success with this lesson. Students will analyze characters and actively express theiir perspectives on different topics and questions.  Students will use their background knowledge,previous learning from the book, and make inferences about the characters. During the "discussion" students use their acting skills to be a partticular character and discuss from that point of view. They will justify the stance they take as they speak in character.  This creates a great understanding of perspective and view points before moving into deeper dives about author's perspectives.
