Pathway to Literature
Locatie Online
Teaching literature in our nowadays society is a challenge in itself but teaching literature to teenagers might seem a daunting task from the start. How can we turn this round? How can we make the Literature class engaging, entertaining and real? These are some of the questions we will try to answer together at our workshop “Pathway to Literature”. We are going to address the 21st century learner in a new manner and present the literary works not only in the written form but also in the audio-visual format with many engaging activities. Analysing characters, talking about settings and plots, finding whose point of view is presented in the literary work and many other literacy techniques – all these and more can be seen and presented from a fresh perspective that can challenge students and make them place ideas in events into a different perspective.
