O Captain! My Captain! by Walt Whitman (Quick Analysis + Historical Context)

I loved researching this important bit of American history whilst preparing this poem for my students. In this video, you'll find a super general summary of what happened during the American Civil War before I move on to an analysis of Whitman's beautiful poem. I hope it can be of some use to you! x
Hiya! My name is Iris and I have been a secondary (/high) school teacher for some years now 👩‍🏫. I studied English language and culture at university and I have a Master’s Degree in literature 📚. Next to that, I love art and expressing my creativity 🎨💖. That’s why I have combined my knowledge of language teaching with my love for creating and drawing and this video is the product of that 📹. All the illustrations were done by me. Feel free to leave any questions you have down below and I will try my best to answer them!

💻 Davinci Resolve (editing programme)
🎤 Blue Yeti (microphone)
