Evaluation of data is shared. The presenter demonstrates how to evaluate texts for different teaching situations, how to introduce different genres, and how to use activities related to specific examples of literature. Participants discuss questions such as whether to use portions or full texts, allow translations, and include interpretative analysis. Participants make four books of their choice to fit all ages and abilities, such as a book with a cricket cage cover, an alphabet book, a recycled floppy disk book, or a quilt-square book. Using the two media, the presenters introduce a theoretical framework for collaboration and a variety of unique and stimulating group activities.
Participants learn to apply the techniques to their own literature and film selections.
Through reading and writing poetry, students improve linguistic competence, sharpen their critical thinking, and gain self-confidence as language learners. The presenter discusses interactive techniques for analyzing and writing poems in advanced integrated skills courses and demonstrates a sample lesson, as participants work in groups to read and write poems. The project involves all skills and can be adapted to students in intermediate levels. The presenter offers booklists, worksheets in the form of templates for each literary genre, and suggestions for classroom organization that facilitates student interaction.
