Two selected texts


 

Hello there literature lovers across the sea!

As in our previous post we did mentioned about sharing the approaches that can be utilized in teaching and learning process so yawning, droopy eyelids is a no no while you are teaching. 
nope. This look will demotivate your teaching spirit!

So, you may click on either four of the approaches that we have shared and you can definitely try it out in your class and do share with us the experience and outcomes of the teaching process.

Interested? Just click on the approaches :)

Through these approaches we are only emphasizing on two selected literature texts. The aesthetic and language approach will be conducted based on the poem "He has such quiet eyes" by Bibsy Soenharjo.



He Had Such Quiet Eyes by Bibsy Soenharjo

He had such quiet eyes

She did not realise

They were two pools of lies

Layered with thinnest ice

To her, those quiet eyes

Were breathing desolate sighs

Imploring her to be nice

And to render him paradise

If only she’d been wise

And had listened to the advice

Never to compromise

With pleasure-seeking guys

She’d be free from ‘the hows and whys’

Now here’s a bit of advice

Be sure that nice really means nice

Then you’ll never be losing at dice

Though you lose your heart once or twice

We then use one of the short story offered in the Literature Component of English Language Curriculum for Malaysian School Syllabus which is The Fruitcake Special written by Frank Brennan. 



Do try the activities we have suggested and you may provide some opinions of its pros and cons and perhaps we may exchange various number of activities to be applied in our literature teaching. May these approaches assist you in  creating a conducive yet entertaining learning process. 

HAPPY TEACHING!
