What is Literature?
12.
—Rene Descartes
“Literature isa living thing, something that moves the soul, makes it
sing in wonder and awe. The text walks you through all the passion,
despair, feelings, anger, love, hatred, and joy a human can
experience. It's almost like being in the right committed
relationship: you're caught up in it, and it feels like... magic.“
Choose a Definitionof Literature and Expound on it
Further
Oscar Wilde
"Literature always
anticipates life. It does
not copy it but molds
it to its purpose"
Virginia Woolf
"Literature is strewn with the
wreckage of those who have
minded beyond reason the opinion
of others."
Lourie
Anderson
"Literature is the safe and
traditional vehicle through
which we learn about the
world and pass on values,
from one generation to the
next, Books save live
Aristotle
"Literature is an imitation of a
sequence of events. It can be
categorized and thereby,
understood according to the
method of operation and
Execution of each category
—Someone
“ Literature isa faithful reproduction of life, executed in an
artistic pattern. It is the orchestration of the manifold but
elemental experiences of man blended into harmonious and
desired patterns of expression. “

Literary Criticism Theories
Literarycriticism theories are like special glasses that
help readers and scholars see and understand literature in
different ways. These theories give us tools to analyze a piece of
writing based on things like when and where it was written, who
wrote it, and what the reader thinks. Some examples include
formalism, deconstructionism, Marxism, feminism, post-
modernism, readers' response, and psychoanalytic
interpretations.
24.
Genres, Branches, and
Authors
Literaturehas different types and genres, which can
guide how a story is written and what readers expect. Knowing
authors and their works helps teachers choose the right
literature for a specific time, place, genre, and language skills.
25.
Cultural and Historical
Contexts
Understandingthe cultural and historical context of
literature means looking at the time, place, society, beliefs, and
technology of when it was written to better understand the text.
26.
Models and Approachesin
Teaching Literature
Models and approaches in teaching literature are
different ways teachers can use to help students learn about
literary texts. These approaches can be based on a teacher's
beliefs and goals in teaching literature and language. Some
examples include looking at culture, language, personal growth,
style, morals, and information.
27.
Comprehension Levels in
ReadingLiterature
The comprehension levels framework helps teachers ask
questions of different difficulty levels when students read
literature, encouraging them to understand what's on the
surface, what's implied, and what's not said, making them better
readers in real life.
28.
In essence, literarycompetence is
essential in second language education
because it precisely outlines the skills
and knowledge readers must have to
effectively engage with and comprehend
literary works.
Literature Competencies in
English K to 12 Curriculum
Authors create amazingimaginary
worlds in books, like stories and poems. As
teachers, we should show students all
kinds of books, from stories to facts, funny
ones to sad ones. But remember, what we
say about book types is just our ideas, and
there are always new kinds of books, just
like how our imaginations can get bigger.
Quote by Author
Benefitof
Literature
How
come?
Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is
imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to
escape? If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if
we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to
escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.
- J.R.R. Tolkien
That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover
that your longings are universal longings, that you're not
lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
Analyze famous quotes about literature, find the
benefits mentioned, and explain your analysis briefly.
33.
Literature comes fromthe
Greek word litera which means
'letter'. So anything that has letters is
literature, yes? You can say that. But for
clarity let us classify literature as
utilitarian and creative.
34.
Utilitaria
n
Utilitarian from theword 'utility'. Utilitarian literature is all
about practical, everyday writing. It's the stuff we use in our daily lives,
like memos, news reports, and speeches. These writings serve a specific
purpose or "utility." For example, a manager might write a memo to
remind employees about report deadlines. In English class, educators
teaches students to create these types of writings to apply language
skills in real-life situations.
35.
Creative
Creative literature, likestories and poems, is all about making
things beautiful with words. Writers have their own unique way of
writing, which we call "style." This style can match the usual style of the
type of writing they're doing. Creative literature has two big parts: prose
and poetry.
Prose
is creative writingthat doesn't follow a strict rhythm. It can be
spoken or written in a regular way. Prose comes in two main
types: fiction and non-fiction.
Prose comes in two main types : Fiction and Non-fiction.
Fiction
means stories that aren't written in
a specific pattern. They come from
the author's imagination and have
things like plots, characters, and
settings.
Non-
Fiction
texts refer to factual narrations
focused on actual events, places,
and people. Biographies, essays,
journals, and epistles are some
genres under non-fiction.
38.
Poetry
is a uniqueform of creative literature that Edgar Allan Poe
describes as the "beautiful use of rhythm." It employs
figurative language, vivid imagery, rhyme, and other stylistic
tools to craft verses and lines.
Poetry comes in two main types : Lyrical and Narrative.
Lyric
Poems
are like songs for feelings and
thoughts, with a rhythm. Types of
lyric poems include songs, sonnets,
odes, elegies, and Japanese poems
like haiku and tanka.
Narrative
Poems
are like storytelling in poetry, with
a structured rhythm. They have
elements of a story. Examples
include epics, tale poems,
romantic poems, and ballads.
39.
Drama
Drama is performanceliterature. It tells stories through spoken
words, whether in regular writing or poetry. It can be acted out on stage,
in movies, on TV, or even on the radio. The two flavors of drama are
comedy and tragedy. There are also other types like dramatic
monologues, melodramas, and satires. Since drama can be written in
regular or poetic form, it's like a branch of literature, with regular writing
and poetry as the main branches.
40.
For fiction prose,narrative poetry, and drama, they can be
classified to genres according to content or plot theme. Common
story genres are romantic, tragic-horror, mystery, crime-
thriller, science, fantasy, and historical.
Imagine literary genres as categories for the books we
read. Each genre has its own unique style, tone, elements, and
techniques that make it easily identifiable for studying literature.

Contemporary
Genres
There is adebate within authors that it is unnecessary to identify
genres of literary pieces. Writer Rick Moody states that "genre is a bookstore
problem, and not a literary problem."
This means that authors wrote texts not because they would want to
have their masterpieces boxed to a particular genre shelf but rather for
readers to enjoy the piece as it is. While it's useful to know a text's genre to
have some expectations, authors want their work to be appreciated for its
individuality.
47.
This is thecontention of modern/contemporary and 21st
century literature in purpose and meaning. Philosopher Paulo Freire
even recognized that texts are something to be shared, discussed,
and adapted, as they carry the author's and reader's experiences and
insights. So, literature is evolving and means different things to
different people, meant to be enjoyed rather than analyzed.
48.
As such, literarytexts are no longer just words on paper. In
the 21st century, literature can be found on computer screens and
mobile apps. It's not limited to books. It includes spoken word
poetry, movies, TV shows, audio books, text messages, blogs,
podcasts, videos, pictures, memes, and scripts. Technology has made
literature richer and more accessible. As long as readers are digitally
literate and can judge the value of these texts, literature will thrive.
49.
They emphasize thatliterature should be enjoyed and experienced in
diverse ways, and it suggests that readers and viewers should be open to
exploring literature across different mediums without being constrained by
genre labels. Don’t you agree?
Which modern/contemporary/21st century literature do you enjoy
reading or viewing? Why do you find them enjoyable and intriguing?

In conclusion, Allan(2014) says that
to really get what's going on in a story, we need
to know what type of story it is (genre) and how
it breaks the rules. So, we should teach our
students about different types of stories and
how they work. Teaching literature is about
helping students use their imagination and
reading skills to become well-rounded learners.
Teaching Literature Genres
- E.M. Forster
“Thehistorian records, but the novelist
creates.”
-Nadine C.
Keels
"Writers and artists know that ethereal moment, when just
one, fleeting something - a chill, an echo, the click of a lamp,
a question - ignites the flame of an entire work that blazes
suddenly into consciousness."

Each group willhave two regions to choose from the last activity, along
with information about the region's literary characteristics and a
corresponding author.
Create a simple roleplay scenario for each region that includes a specific
situation or cultural context.
For example, for Europe (Renaissance), it could be a royal court
gathering during the Renaissance period. For Latin America (Magical
Realism), it could be a village where magical events occur.
