Classical music in classroom...
We were introduced by Dr Edwin on various types classical music. One of it was Mozart and Beethoven. In my opinion, I think it is useful to use classic music in the literature classroom because it helps to create a relaxing atmosphere for the students as there are a lot of thinking process involved during the literature lesson but one has to be careful not to overdo it as it will make their students feels sleepy. According to Dr Edwin, we should incorporate it while we are teaching poetry as both the song and the poem might share a similar rhyme and mood. However, I felt that it is difficult to be carried out as one needs to be experienced and have total control of the class. Some students may not like it as they think it is an old fashion music and for those who are easily distracted, playing the music might obstruct their reading of the poems. It might be more useful for students who are particularly interested in literature as they are able to see the connection.
