Provocateur Piece: That We Somehow Still Do This

Abstract

In this Provocateur Piece, we build a theory of poetic resonance through the interspersing of theory, philosophy, and literature with students’ voices and our own. The ideas sprang from an undergraduate English methods course we co-taught focused on micro-teaching. Throughout the essay we explore momentary encounters of resonance within and beyond pedagogical moves and students’ experiences, engaging the particularities that shape lives in classrooms.
