Welcome!

Welcome to not only my first blog post for "Gothic Exposure", but also to my first blog ever created! Over the course of the next few weeks I will be posting ideas for lessons and my own experiences with literature for future teachers about popular Gothic texts used very frequently in high school English classrooms.

As a future teacher, I know that using the Internet is not only efficient, but a more interesting way to learn from fellow teachers and hear about their personal experiences within their own classrooms. This being said, feel free to comment on how you would teach and describe Gothic texts, or your past experiences teaching texts within a classroom setting.

Being a college student has introduced me to it all: Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Vine, Instagram, and countless other sources of social media I have wasted so many hours on (whoops). I will now be experimenting with the concept of blogging for my future classrooms. I will write about how I feel the blog has helped me to better understand Gothic literature, or if I feel that a blog could be a teaching method for me to use in my classroom one day.
