Dealing with Literature - prose, poetry, drama, literary texts and text analysis, authors and movements - is not always great fun for our high schoolers...
The problem is teens often look so unenthusiastic, demotivated, unwilling to work ... But what if they were simply seeking for something 'meaningful', for a solidly valid 'reason' behind things?
Teens do not want to be forced, this is a fact - and maybe they are right!
However, good teachers can try and help them make sense of what they are dealing with, leading them on the right path towards a deep understanding of what eventually really counts in human life and makes us 'human': that is Art and Literaure!
I tried this and went on working on this 'reasonable' path: my enthusiastic high schoolers are now following me!
