Developing activities in literary education in Latin

Publication at Faculty of Arts |
2022

Abstract

The lecture presented the developmental activities that follow the individual stages of literary education based on the texts of Roman authors (evocation and motivation, preparation for reading, first and second reading, translation and interpretation, summary, discussion and evaluation) and lead to further creative work with the text, or at least to broaden and deepen impressions and knowledge. They can be carried out directly in the classroom, but as they tend to be time-consuming, it may be more appropriate to give them a proper place in the curriculum and to allocate a different amount of time.

Experience has shown that such activities strengthen pupils' attitudes to learning, increase interest in the subject and lead to the integration of knowledge within the subject and in a wider, cross-curricular framework. In addition, they can, for example, go beyond the boundaries of the classroom and the school when a well-chosen project is implemented.
