Pak Bo discusses strategies for teaching literature in the classroom. He defines literature as a formal treatment of subjects through speech or writing, such as essays or poems. Literature introduces students to new experiences and represents language and culture. To teach literature effectively, teachers should start with concepts students already understand and explore different genres such as novels, short stories, plays, and poetry. Specific works discussed include Hamlet, which tells the story of a prince dealing with intrigue, and Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken."
