Abstract | Review of Monika Shafi's publication, Approaches to Teaching Grass's The Tin Drum. Approaches to Teaching Grass’s The Tin Drum provides multiple techniques for teaching school, and undergraduate, students about Grass’s first novel, The Tin Drum. Each chapter in the book explains how to critically engage with the novel from a different point of view. Part One (Materials) briefly highlights extraneous resources to enhance readers’ understanding of the text and its context. It discusses further reading for students as well as films and other audiovisual resources to assist their understanding of the novel. Part Two (Approaches) presents eighteen chapters, each instructing the reader how to interpret the novel according to a specific perspective and how to instruct others in this interpretation. The chapters are grouped under four headings: historical contexts; narrative and reading strategies; teaching issues of race and gender; and teaching the film Die Blechtrommel. |
