Some reflections on calypso, pan and school literacy
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
The module includes some ideas for teachers to link pan and calypso to the school literacy. The work and views of some calypsonians who promote and defend pan will be considered. The module will conclude by advocating ""pan literacy"" as a way of attracting selected young persons (back) to school literacy and that calypso and pan can revolutionise the same. QUESTIONS WORTH CONSIDERING: What is Literacy ? What is school Literacy? What is ""pan Literacy""? How do cultural expressive forms help or hinder the desire to learn ? How is calypso related to pan playing and Carnival in T&T? What place can school Literacy find in all of this? Who are some of our greatest calypsonians, pannists and masmen?
