Creative reading involves reading text in an intensive way to achieve deeper meaning beyond just the printed words. It requires reading between the lines and using the ideas and feelings gathered to inspire other ideas and activities that can be shared. Creative reading is both an activity and an ability. Literary appreciation, understanding literature as a body of written works that convey ideas from a particular culture, is also part of creative reading.

Transdisciplinary Learning
The Kean Community was provided an open conversation about the value of interdisciplinarity for teaching, research, and community engagement. Divided into three dialogue segments, the workshop included outlining the development of ID courses and programs at Kean, addressing the conceptual meaning of inter- versus multi- and trans- disciplinarity, and an introduction to the new Interdisciplinary Studies Center as a Kean resource, housed within the College of Liberal Arts. The workshop offered practical, teaching-focused reflections on the methods and strategies that can be used in the course structure, set-up, delivery, and assessment of ID courses and minor programs. Application of the methods can be used to foster future cross-college interdisciplinary work and engage students in the classroom or as part of creative and scholarly works.
Online Educational Resources
This book will explore 16 websites that the educators can use to help students to learn via online. Lets make the learning and teaching according to their ways!
MAKABAYAN: Selection and Preparation of Instructional Materials
1. The document discusses the selection and preparation of various types of instructional materials including audiovisual materials, non-projected visuals like charts and maps, projected visuals like slides and films, audio media, multimedia resources, simulations, books, and duplicated materials.
2. Key factors in selecting instructional materials include matching the materials to learning objectives, ensuring the instructor is familiar with the content, choosing materials appropriate for the teaching format and student abilities, and selecting based on contributions to learning rather than just availability or ease of use.
3. A variety of media should be used as no single medium is best for all purposes. Locally produced materials by instructors can significantly enhance learning.

Humanism (philosophy)
Humanism is a philosophy that places central importance on human values and agency rather than religious dogma or supernatural forces. It originated from ancient Greek and Latin scholars and values reason and scientific inquiry over blind faith. Humanism aims to develop complete human personalities through education that emphasizes social virtues, creativity, and democratic principles in order to solve problems and increase human happiness and efficiency.

2 Major fields of philosophy METAPHYSICS AND EPISTEMOLOGY ONLY
This document provides information on different branches of philosophy and how they relate to education. It discusses metaphysics, which encompasses existence and reality, and asks questions about the nature of knowledge, people, and the world.

The document provides examples of how metaphysical and epistemological questions could inform educational practices and curriculum development.
Characterization
Characterization refers to how an author develops fictional characters in a story. There are two main methods of characterization: direct characterization, where the author explicitly describes the character; and indirect characterization, where the reader understands the character through their actions. Characters can also be dynamic, changing over the course of the story in response to events, or static, remaining the same. Well-developed characters are considered "round" or complex, while simpler characters are "flat" or defined by only one or two traits.
Folktales
Folktales are simple stories that are passed down orally through generations. They typically include supernatural elements, represent human qualities through characters, and teach moral lessons. There are several types of folktales, including trickster tales about clever characters who cause problems, fables that assign human traits to animals to impart short moral lessons indirectly, and fairytales with good and evil characters, magic, and predictable story structures. Some well-known examples are The Tortoise and the Hare, The Three Little Pigs, Cinderella, and Jack and the Beanstalk.

Interpreting and analyzing literature
The document discusses the difference between interpretive literature and escape literature. Interpretive literature aims to broaden readers' understanding of life, enable consideration of implications, and answer "so what?" about what was read. It takes readers deeper into the real world to understand their troubles. Interpretive literature has a broader significance by providing insights into human existence, culture, or history.

What is Literature.ppt
This document discusses the evolving definition of "literature" over the last 50 years. Traditionally, literature referred to imaginative writing, but the distinction between fact and fiction is blurry. The definition of literature has also become more subjective. Qualities like language were once seen as the main criteria for defining literature, but this excluded many important texts. The literary "canon" was constructed by those in power and marginalized works by underrepresented groups. There is no objective definition of literature - its meaning depends on how readers interpret texts based on their own experiences and contexts.
What isliterature
This document discusses the evolving definition of "literature" over the last 50 years. Traditionally, literature referred to imaginative writing that was not factual, but many classical works were also non-fiction. The document argues that what makes a text "literary" is subjective and dependent on how people relate to it. It was traditionally based on language use but this excluded many texts. The literary "canon" was constructed by those in power to include mainly works by white European males, marginalizing other groups. There is no objective value or essence to literary works and their status changes over time based on changing social contexts and readers.

The document discusses Plato's Allegory of the Cave and how it relates to human understanding of truth and knowledge. It uses the allegory to explain that humans can only "see" or "know" through representations, not absolute truth. It then discusses how art and culture arise from human social and communicative instincts and are framed by language and society. Art acts as a conceptual unifier that is defined by but also defines its social context.

The document describes a critical collage workshop for teachers focused on social issues. In the workshop, teachers identified a social issue from a book, researched it further by reading supporting and contradictory information, then created a collage representing the issue. One teacher initially chose a book but realized through further research that it appropriated Indigenous culture. Her collage represented this issue of cultural appropriation, using hands to symbolize how it hides Indigenous culture. The conclusions were that the workshop supported critical thinking skills by having teachers view issues differently, question assumptions, and take ownership of their representations through creative works.
