BTR Residents’ Dilemma of Practice
“How do I make European Literature relevant?”
Presentation’s Focus
Enabling Shakespeare
Alfred Tatum (2008) defines an enabling text as one that goes beyond a cognitive focus—such as skill and strategy development—to introduce an academic, cultural, emotional, and social component that moves students closer to examining issues they find relevant to their lives.
Turn & Talk
How are you understanding
Tatum’s definition of an
“Enabling Text?”
Tatum’s Enabling Texts
Tatum suggests several high school texts such as The Pact: Three Young Men Make a Promise and Fulfill a Dream and Rite of Passage, all texts with Black male protagonists, as “enabling.”

Enabling Shakespeare
“Another aspect of planning that I learned a lot about through both this unit and the “Master Class” experience is how to create lessons in which I treat all students as sense makers and create high cognitive demand tasks. I learned that sometimes just a small tweak in a lesson plan can make a task much more cognitively demanding and effective.”
