What I'm going to do is pick apart Professor John Rogers lecture. This is going to run in segments so that if you wish you can do your own research. This lecture has a creative commons licence and since part of the agreement is to allow creative commons of my work as well feel free to follow the guidelines provided. I am not earning any monetary payment for this this is for my own use and since I believe in research I am also providing my resources for you to follow along. I am not endorsed by Yale or Professor John Rogers nor have they endorsed my work.
If you use any of these sources please cite your works otherwise it's plagerism and illegal. On a blog such as this usually a link is good enough but make sure you read all the small print. You can be sued for one mistake.

You will find that I am a fan of kids sites as well. If I'm going to learn this so are my children and because the average person reads at a sixth grade level it's easier to comprehend.
During all this I will also provide links to all of the authors that the professor mentions as well. I will get in to Shakespeare and Virginia Woolf in a post at a later time. I do think it's important to know what he is talking about. If you've never read Shakespeare it's hard to understand why he is loved. It may even be better to watch one of the many movies first especially if you are a visual learner. My own love of Shakespeare was because of video. You guessed it I'm visual. Anyhow, Learning can be fun it's all in your approach in suppose.
