Literature teaching. (c2005)

Includes bibliographical references (leave 80).Literature in the language classroom is important to promote students' linguistic abilities. The themes that it deals with are numerous. This project is about politics and its sub-themes are censorship, power, dictatorship and justice. The purpose behind the choice of this theme is to allow high school students to see the different rules that govern the practice of politics, to study different points of views about the matter in order to judge or give opinions based on firm ground and not on prejudice or inherited false ideas. In addition, this kit is meant for secondary students. It uses authentic literary texts of famous writers such as Orwell, Bradbury and Guterson. Students in the language classroom read these texts and are invited at a later stage to work on different kinds of activities. They range from drilling on grammar to building vocabulary, working on writing skills, improving listening and speaking skills, completing pre-reading activities and a multitude of follow-up exercises.1 bound copy: 80 leaves; col. ill., col. map; 30 cm. available at RNL
