Since high school, I've enjoyed reading literature, and nothing made my friends and me happier than

spending our leisure time immersed in the pages of our favorite books. It allows us to travel to places
we'd never seen before, or even places we'd never imagined. It allows us to experience things that we
otherwise would not have had the opportunity to do. As time passed, I realized that many of the literary
authors I read were doing more than just creating stories. Many people were expressing their thoughts,
opinions, and perhaps a piece of their soul. Over the years, I've extended my linguistic awareness, learnt
the various structures and purposes of language, and broadened my understanding of human nature by
immersing in numerous literary works.
All of these realizations were one of the reasons I decided to pursue my course so that I could become a
literary teacher and spend my time helping students understand literature and poetry, providing
background on authors' lives and works, and teaching students about the structure and substance of the
English language, such as good grammar, spelling, and sentence structures.
Through designing and implementing effective strategies and taking into account other factors involved in
teaching and learning I believe we can strengthen and extend the long-standing impact of literature that
would benefit both teachers and learners.

1. Administering quizzes after reading helps teachers assess how well the class as a whole
understands the concepts of the literature.
Its effectiveness stems from the ideas:
If the overall score indicates that the majority of the students are struggling, the teacher can reconsider
alternate strategies to ensure that the entire class understands what they're reading.
Quizzes suggest the process of retrieval – bringing the information to mind – actually leads to learning all
by itself. 
2. Encourage students to ask questions as it will pique their curiosity and urge them to seek answers
to their queries. This will encourage them to investigate their own ideas helps improve their
problem-solving skills as well as gain a deeper understanding of literature being studied. Both of
which are important life skills.
3. Providing opportunities for engagement - this implies active participation in class, which
promotes critical and higher-order thinking skills. Students who participate in class have learned
enough about the content to explain new concepts to their classmates. This level of thinking is
more than just reading comprehension; it can also help with remembering. Participation can also
assist students in learning from one another, resulting in increased comprehension through
collaboration.
4. Individuals with greater academic talents are stretched, while those who are struggling receive the
necessary help, ensuring that no one falls behind. This can include giving separate groups of
students’ worksheets of varying complexity or putting up a variety of work stations around the
classroom with a variety of projects for students to select from.
5. Incorporating technology into the classroom is a great approach to actively engage students,
especially since that young people in the twenty-first century are surrounded by digital media.
Images and videos can be displayed on interactive whiteboards or mobile devices, which helps
learners visualize new academic topics. When technology is used, learning can become more
participatory since students can physically engage during lessons as well as instantaneously
investigate their ideas, fostering autonomy.
