In my
personal opinion I consider that literature is a great tool in oder to improve
our classes. We can do a bunch of things. Such as analyzing poems, performing a
play, even create your own version of your own play, create dynamic
activitiesto encourage the students to improve and develop their writing and
oral skills both in class and outside the classroom.
Literature is
very broad, I'd say this help us to be more expressive not only in the classroom
but in life. Regarding the population you can implement and adapt what you what
to do. For instance, In the classroom you as teacher can make your students
act, how? by asking them to write their own version of a tale, or maybe telling
them to preparean oral analysis at home in order to perform it in class.
Another important thing you can do is by using literature is to carry out a
class by playing funny games such as: the hungman, take a piece of paper and
draw, guess and emotion according to a poem,etc.
At the end of
the day, literature make us more reflective, made us to think in a deep way.
Besides, our students can feel more motivated due to the fact we can take
advantage of the different topics, literature offers the material is more
interesting, since we can analyse or discuss about a peom. So, the opinion you
give about a poem varies each time.
