    TEACHING LITERACY IN THE

    ELEMENTARY GRADES THROUGH


    LITERATURE
    MODULE 5

    1 OGDIMALANTA
    Chapter 5

    Various Approaches in Teaching Literature

    1. Reading for Plot and Comprehension


    This might not be the most exciting approach to reading, but
    comprehension is the first step toward any deeper understanding. When
    you approach any book as a class, it's always worth making sure that
    students are at least able to identify what happened in any passage before
    exploring the text at a deeper level. You'd be surprised at how many "Aha!
    moments" will happen for your students after spending just a few minutes
    discussing basic plot events.
    For classes that are struggling with comprehension, reading in class, either
    aloud as a group or silently with an audio recording, can be very helpful.

    2. Reading for Theme


    While comprehension is a necessary first step, looking deeper, at the
    intent, purpose, or meaning of the book is also essential. One of the best
    places to start is the theme, or the central topic that a text covers. Every
    book that has one—not all do—develops its theme differently, so organizing
    your curriculum around books with similar themes can be a great way to tie
    it together.
    3. Reading for Author's Craft
    One of the most rewarding ways to explore a book is through a close
    reading of the text to examine not only what the story means, but also how

    1 OGDIMALANTA
    the author communicates that meaning. Is the novel exciting? What makes
    it exciting? Why do we laugh where we do? How does the author manage
    to make us like the main character even though he or she has some
    serious flaws? A close reading is a deep investigation of the patterns in a
    book and of the techniques the author uses, from word choice and syntax
    to rhetorical devices and symbolism.
    A great way to get started with this type of reading is to break down a
    poem, which is usually more densely packed than a novel, or take a look at
    a couple of key passages from a longer work. It takes more time to really
    dig into a book this way, but the rewards can be remarkable.

    4. Approaching Literary Theories


    While it's common to think of literary theories as the realm of college or
    graduate students, you'd be surprised how powerful a lesson based on
    literary theory can be for students in 9th or 10th grade or reluctant readers
    who tend to tune out during more traditional studies of literature. Looking at
    a story from a feminist or archetypal angle or focusing on social class
    struggles within the text can make books come to life for many students.
    5. Using Bloom's Taxonomy
    Benjamin Bloom, an educational theorist, developed models for
    understanding the ways that students learn. By using these models, you
    can help classes progress from a rudimentary understanding of the basic
    language being used all the way up to synthesizing multiple sources and
    developing their own original analysis of the text. If you're looking for ways
    to tie together a variety of approaches in a way that support different
    learning objectives, Bloom's model will help.
    6. Response Journaling
    2 OGDIMALANTA
    Writing about literature doesn't always have to be a formal process in which
    the goal is the typical five-paragraph essay. With response journaling,
    students are encouraged to write about what they're reading and draw
    personal connections to their own lives. Whether they're describing how the
    book makes them feel, conveying how they'd react in a similar situation or
    recreating events from their own lives that are similar to those in a book,
    journaling can help. Journaling also encourages regular writing practice,
    helps students build personal connections to literature, and gives classes
    fun writing practice on a regular basis.
    7. Reading for Vocabulary
    Sure, a strong vocabulary can help reading comprehension, but active
    reading is also essential to building vocabulary. By using the books you're
    teaching in class as a source of vocabulary words, you can give your
    classes relevant words in authentic contexts and teach your students to
    use context clues to figure out the meanings on their own.
    8. Working with Groups
    Reading often feels like a solitary activity, so getting students working
    together on projects—whether it's completing a graphic organizer, putting
    together a skit, or developing a poster—when students talk amongst
    themselves about what they're reading, they'll learn about other people's
    opinions on the books and help each other get the most out of what's being
    read.
    9. Reading for Fun
    Never forget that every author who has ever put pen to paper did so for his
    or her book to be enjoyed. Sometimes it's worth just asking your students
    to curl up on the couch with a cup of cocoa and read a great story.

    3 OGDIMALANTA
    None of these methods are mutually exclusive, and the best teachers tend
    to use more than one through the course of a particular unit or throughout
    the year.
