Post 25: How To Get Online Students To Read World Literature

How to get students to read World Literature



1. Have students read the abridged version on Spark Notes or any other study guide.

2. Have the students read the summary of the plot.

3. Have the students watch a movie clip of the literature in question.

4. Last but not least, have the student read the original

If you follow these 4 steps, your students will not be discouraged and complain to the teacher that the text was too hard to read or that the translation was too ancient.  My students love reading the abridged version first, then reading the summary online, and then going to Youtube to watch a movie clip of the literature.
