As a subject, English Literature evades easy categorisation. In its idealised form, the Literature classroom might be described as a kind of discursive theatre; a space in which students and teachers read and respond to language-based artefacts that have been created to examine and enrich the human experience. While many students thrive in this kind of environment, others arrive without having acquired the highly-tuned reading and writing skills necessary to achieve at a high level. The purpose of this Community will be to share and discuss teaching strategies that can be implemented to support and extend all English Literature students. Sessions will explore a series of topics pertinent to the teaching and study of Literature - including, but not limited to: writing as a tool for analytical thinking, scaffolding student responses to literary text, vocabulary and spelling support, and protocols for establishing an intellectual community of learners in your own classroom.
