    A: I think it is important to create the habit of reading since you are a child as it provides many benefits such as those mentioned in the video.
    The video describes the benefits we obtain from literature fist it describes it as a time saver cause it give us access to events that will take a whole life to experience them , it is a time machine , gives us keys to open up to a whole word,makes ud travel around continents only using our imagination .
    Also show us things from others points of view , we can identify ourselves with feelings , characters and places described in a piece of writing .
    It also prepares us for failure cause a lot of literature is about it .
    As a conclusion the video shows that literature deserves to be treat as a therapy and don't treat it just as something we do for entertainment or distraction , we should appreciate it as our doctor and to take into account all the benefits that come within .

    1. Are you a big fan of literature? Why? Why not?
    I am neither a big fan nor a person who just read social networks. Depending on the kind of literature I will say that I love literature or I hate it, we will say that we love something when we are identify with some aspects that catch our attention, for example I really like romantic novels, science fiction and comedies and then I can say that I love literature. In the other hand, if you ask me to read historical literature, political literature or something like that I will say that I hate literature. So I think that depending in what we like we will say that we like or dislike literature.

    2. Mention three things you have learned in the classroom so far

    • There are many techniques that we can use at the moment that we have to read something to have an efficient and comprehensive lecture.
    • Sometimes we will find texts that test our reading abilities and we will think that we are not good as we thought. This happen because there are some aspects that makes a text difficult to read like the vocabulary or the language.
    • I have learned that we can encourage students to read more and enrich their vocabulary through different dynamic activities.

    3. After watching the video, summarize its main idea in no less than 80 words.

    We have been underappreciating the powers of literature. When we read something we are learning more about things that we probably we will not experiment in our entire life like, living the life of another person in a single month or as long as we finish reading a book and while we are reading, we feel as if we were the protagonist of the book. Also, literature teaches or prevents us about the possible consequences of our acts through an unlimited variety of examples of failure and that failure becomes an amazing source of inspiration to create good pieces of poem, stories and even songs.

    4. Why we must teach literature at all levels?
    We must teach literature at all levels because it is a powerful tool that allows students to have a wide view of the world and the different points of view. Also, it is important to encourage them to read at all time in order to let them know that reading will help them to achieve all their goals.

  3. 1. Are you a big fan of Literature? Why? Why not?
    I am a big fan of literature whose main author’s purpose is to teach or persuade, since I love reading books or articles of personal growth, history and general information about any subject. I would say, I’m not a fan of poem, novels, or books whose chief purpose is just to entertain, I read them though when I have to.

    2. Mention three things you have learned in the class so far.
    - If you want to become a teacher of literature, you have to be a fan of literature first.

    - You can use liteature as a resource to teach Grammar, Spelling, Phonics, Science and Writing. You just need to do to the right adaptations.

    - Literature is a Pandora’s box. Words in literature are a living thing. As teachers, we have to lead our students to develop the sense of reading and experience the feelings, emotions and believes involved in it.

    3. After watching the video, summarize its main idea in no less than 80 words.
    Literature is the best “reality simulator”, it is a time machine, since through reading you can experience things from any millenium, century and decade, and from any context-political situation, rupture, wars, crimes, among other things- that you would never be able to live. Even when it appears to be time-consuming, Literature is the best time saver.
    Literature makes you empathetic. You can see things from the point of view and perspective of someone else. If you have a good attitude, it makes you a better person, teaches you values and shows you what is really important since literature can stand against the commercialized, classist and dominant value system that awards money and power.
    Literature is a cure for loneliness, understands you and can make you feel identified with it. The autor finds the most suitable words to describe your personality, what you are going through even when it might seem to be weird to others.
    Literature can play a magnificent role and save our lives, since it prepares us for raising from failure we have made mistakes. We can find in it biographies of people who have appearently failed 1000 times, but in the 1001st attempt they succeeded.

    4. Why must we teach Literature at all levels?
    We must teach literature at all levels for a variety of reasons:
    -Studying requires reading books. If students do not know how to read and analyze, they won’t be able to study.

    -Students should awaken their sense of reading every since early ages for them to acquire a habit that will facilitate their learning.

    - Literature promotes self-taught students who are not relying on the teacher only, instead they are independent learners.

    - Literature develops a reader’s imagination, creativity, critical thinking, among other competences.

    - Literature is a good exercise that stimulates a student intelectually.

    - Literature increases a student's vocabulary.

    - All the reason described in the previous answer-It is a time machine, makes you empathetic, helps you to know and accept yourself better, and prepares you to rise from failure.

    This video is so interesting because It shows us that literature is not only for getting more lexical items if not it can help us to increase our knowledge about different cultures around the world, helps us to know about people who have made a difference with their bravery as well as people who have been cruel, makes us experience many things that we have not lived. It teaches us to look and understand the world otherwise it helps us to be more mature people and makes us reflect on our way of acting, in addition literature is a good alternative to spend our free time learning many interesting things.


    D.Why we must teach literature at all levels?

    No matter the level that a student has the use of literature in teaching is very important because as mentioned above it helps us immensely to develop not only the ability to read but helps us to develop a more critical thinking. And if taught through literature from a basic level students can not only be focused on learning grammar but can put everything learned through the discussion of topics related to reading.

    I'm a big fan of literature depending my purpose I will choose the book, I love to read because reading allow me to enter into new worlds and new lives. I can be in Middle Earth or in Scotland. I can be a girl learning to be a princess or I can be a girl lost in the wilderness . I can enter these worlds and see them through the eyes of the characters any time and it’s never boring. When you read it increases you vocabulary and you sound smarter.
    Reading is fun and enjoyable see other point of views. For another hand books contain useful and important information. You can learn things in fiction as easily as you can learn things from school books and non-fiction literature.

    2. I have increase my Vocabulary with technical words.

    3. I have more interest for English literature.

    After watching the video, summarize its main idea in no less than 80 words.

    I think this video can help us when we have a lack in literature because it show us the importance of it and that different ways that we read, also it shows the benefits that the literature has in our life. Literature means escapism, entertainment, literature could be our friend, teacher, and the way that we can learn about fails, love, emotions and another things, as I said before we can live through different characters and know different points of view.

    Why must we teach Literature at all levels?
    I think we need to teach literature in all levels and create good habits of reading, it allows students to complex themes and fresh also literature can provide students with access to the culture of the people whose language they are studying.

  8. 1. Yes, i am, why? Because through the literature I improve my language, because all books that I read or theories about whichever topic gave me more vocabulary and also new points of view about life, god, about everything. It is amazing when you discover another world near to you, and that happen just reading something of literature.
    2. A_ I learned techniques for improve my reading understanding.
    B_ I learned different kind of worksheets that I can use with my students and improve their knowledge.
    C_ finally I learned that all the activities that we use for improve our reading, also improve other competences in us, for example; critical thinking, speaking and writing.
    3. After see the video I can tell you, that the main idea of it, is try to the people be interested in literature, and gave us different points of view of why we have read. For example we can use it, To escape the loneliness , that happens may be because the author through his book describe our experiences better than us, but for me the best thing that the video says, is that the literature, save us time because we learn a lot of things about the History of the world and understand about different cultures around the world and for me that is the best experience that you can have in your life.
    4. I think that is important because The human being has the need to obtain new knowledge since he was born, and especially during the school life no matter what level this is, literature is the easiest way to get all that knowledge simply that as a teacher you have to know how to choose the Type of literature to be used according to the level at which we are.

    2. --I learned many techniques for teaching literature to my future students.
    -- I learned that using prediction is a good way for students to understand the text better.
    --I learned what literature is for.

    3. Literature has some benefits for readers. Literature is not a waste of time, but It saves reader´s time. It also introduces fascinated historical people to readers. Literature is a cure for loneliness; when we are alone but we have a good book to read we do not notice the absence of people who are normally around us. Also through literature we experiment different feelings that the writer pretended to transmit, with literature we can know the consequences of a bad action in the past and it can guide us to improve our present and perhaps our future.

    4.As the video showed literature shared many benefits to readers. Therefore students of all levels should acquire all those benefits depending on their grade of difficulty.

With literature we can share ideas and feelings with other personas. For instance: a poem can express the feeling and emotion we have. If we are angry or we live a story of love by a novel. Literature should be the most important tool for teach any class.

    1.)Are you a big fan of Literature? Why? Why not?
    maybe "A big fan" of literature is not the exactly description for me but, since i were a child i used to read stories and till now i love to read articles, biographies , history and readings that has to do with discovering things rather than fictional literature.

    2.)Mention three things you have learned in the class so far.
    -fistable i have learned the importance of reading to improve our language learning because, trhough reading we can increase our vocabulary,gain fluency and of course develope our thinking skills and if we as students of this class can understand this issues then we can apply them with our students in the future.
    -also i have learned trough the presentations,different activities to use in the classroom in order to teach literature.
    -another important thing that I learnd is to use some reading strategies to improve my reading skill.

    3.) After watching the video, summarize its main idea in no less than 80 words.
    I think one of the main messages of this video, is that trough reading we can understand our history,where we come from,we can know our identity as human being and we can learnd from someone else mistakes, in order to avoid them in the future and become better person because, we can think for a moment like the characters in our stories ,trying to understand their actions,thoughts and feelings and it can influence our overview of the world.
    on the other hand according to the video literature instead of be a waste of time is a kind of invest in our development as person, where we can learn and discover as much as we want.

    4.)Why must we teach Literature at all levels?
    trough my own experience and all the things about the teaching-learnign process that i have learned in many classes that i have taken in the English program I consider that teaching literature at any level is very very important becausue it help our students to develope different skills, that will be usefull to their learning process and their development as person.

  12. 1. I do not consider myself a "BIG FAN" but a like some literature because I can move in my mind to an other place.

    2.*first, we need to learn some techniques or strategies to teach by the literature.
    * second, we need to love the literature and read a lot of books in order to teach better.
    *finally,we need to motivate the students to read books with funny and dinamics activities.

    3. In the video we can see the importance of literature, with the literature the word can change.
    Literature traslate us to an other contries, years, century, millenium or decade because in the real word we never know and with this expirence we can feel happy and confortable. In the literature we have the escape to feek differents emotions, because the author describe the same personaly like us.

    4.we need teach literature at all levels because is inportant to the students to acquire the habit to read because this habit improve their vocabulary, speech and the form to think

  13. 1. Honestly I am not a big fan of literature. Due to my habits I have never read more than 4 books per year it makes me not to be a big fan of literature. Since I started my Studies at University I read more than 4 books per year but it is not because I want it, but because I must if I want to pass my literature classes. I have to recognize that once I start reading I get imersed in the reading, it means that I enjoy that but my real problem is that I am not used to take a book by myself and read it. Althought, I have to mention that books about theories and methods and all that related to language teaching I really like them.
    2. a)First, I have learned how literature helps students to be more conscious and broad to cultural awareness.
    b) I have learned how important those "insignificant elements" such as, appendixes, indexes, type face, etc within a text are.
    c) I have reinforced how those mental process such as botton-up and top-down work inside our minds while we read.
    3. Why should we read literature? Well it can summarized in 4 benefits:
    1.) It saves your time; through literature we can know what is happening around the world, we can travel around the world by reading.
    2) It makes you nicer; by reading literature we may get ideas about how we should react to different situations in life. It makes you aware of different topics so it prepares you to talk, to defend yourself, to respond to opinions and things like those.
    3) It is a cure for loneliness; well sometimes we feel different emotions, it is going to depend to the kind of person you are. But literature is for everybody, and always you are going to find books which you'll feel identified with. Good writers have the capacity to know how they should write thinking about their readers, thinking about the possible readers' reactions and responses. That is the reason why you often feel identified with certain readings.
    4) It prepares you to failiure; some times you may face difficult situations in which you fail them because of difderent reasons. But if you read literature you'll realize that in there many people have failed as well. But thanks to that you'll know how to stand up and start again no matter what.
    4) We must teach literature to all the levels because literature is for everybody as I wrote before. There is literature for children, for teenagers, for young adults, for adults etc. Therefore, the level of language is different as well, so, the more advance language you read the more advance reader and writer you'll become.

  16. 1.Are you a big fan of Literature? Why? Why not?
    Honestly i do not consider myself as a “BIG FAN” of literature. Of course, I like to read but I get more interested on that specific type of literature that I really like for example romantic stories or about mystery.i like to immerse myself in the deepest of my imagination, I start reading a story then I want to know what happened later up to the end. Literature provide us pleasure, it is relaxing scape from daily events.

    2.Mention three things you have learned in the class so far.
    1-I’ve learned how to use some techniques to introduce literature that I can apply in class in order to get reading interested in our students.

    2-Through literature we can enhance communicative abilities Ss can express or debate their thoughts, they can developed their critical thinking as well as practicing their comprehension.

    3-literature in class is a useful tool to increase new vocabulary

    3.After watching the video, summarize its main idea in no less than 80 words.
    This video make awareness, how important is to include literature as a habit. Through literature you can realize about the past as well as the present you can “traveling in time” you are exposed to experiment things from any time, you can visit both the past and the future through the imaginative power of stories, including feelings literature also has the power to impart a wide variety of experiences to readers, when you feel identified with a character or with an specific event that could have happened to you. Literature exposes you to time periods, viewpoints, cultures, and new ways of looking the world.

    4.Why must we teach Literature at all levels?
    Because literature exposes students to an unexpected uses of language, a good story can take a student to a foreign countries or fantasy world. It helps them to stimulate their imagination and also to develop their critical thinking they acquired the language in a better way, they improve their language abilities.

  17. Are you a big fan of Literature? Why? Why not?
    I do not exactly consider myself a fan of literature, but if I'm a fan of knowing new things, I like to read romantic writings, comedy, terror in my free time, but also time is a factor that prevents me from further cultivating this interest.

    Mention three things you have learned in the class so far.

    I have learned to give more value to literature
    I have also come to understand how important it is that as a teacher should inculcate this habit in my students to develop a broader sense of what surrounds them
    Another important aspect that I have learned is the diversity of techniques that exist to be able to develop this art of knowing, understanding and interpreting Literature in any of it styles.


    Why should we teach Literature at all levels?

    Now I consider that it is important even the teaching of literature because through it we can guide the conscious development, imagination, understanding, critical thinking and analytical not only texts but also projecting it in relation to everything that surrounds to the person.


    After watching the video, summarize its main idea in no less than 80 words.

    I think that not only as teachers and future teachers if not as human beings we should give it the importance it deserves literature, why? Well it's not that hard to understand, I think literature is not only an escape to hang out, it goes further, it leads us to develop our own critical and analytical thinking, it can help us to understand more about our culture or other cultures, to understand our own feelings and emotions, to know others and what is around us, in short more than an escape, Literature is the best way to understand our surroundings and experience without fear of making mistakes as it makes us understand ourselves.

    Sometimes, we underestimate the habit of reading and literature as well. But, literature is more than that, literature is about knowledge that help us to live and die full of wisdom and sanity.
    Because of that reason, literature deserves to be considered with prestige. Literature give us the strength and will power to consolidate our minds. It is important to raise the habit of reading and writing in learners. WE as teachers should read methodically transmit all taken knowledge to our students. In that way our day by day in classrooms will be easy and, at the same time, we will see the positive difference.

    Literature is the master key to get into the universe of knowledge.
    Most of knowledge comes from books. We as teacher should expose that universe in a scientific and philosophical way.

  19. 1. No, I am not a big fan of literature because it was not given to me since I was a child. But through this career I am learning to appreciate and enjoy it, because now I thinks it is important to engage children since an early age in order to make them enjoy and do not hate literature or reading.

    2. – I have learned that we can teach literature through different ways in order to get our students attentions, and motivate them.
    -We can use literature as a vehicle to learn a language or to improve it. Literature is everywhere, culture, language and in our daily life.
    - The importance to know and teach our students about the different parts of the book and for what and how to use them.

    3. According to the video, Literature is more than a hobby, it is a door that lead you enter to a world full of wisdom which helps us to understand how life is going on, to have a general view of life, to understand the past and know the important characters´ life which created it, present and future. Literature is a powerful tool that send you to a different situation that you are living, through it you can imagine, feel different kind of emotions. Moreover literature is a vehicle to learn culture and a language and to be aware of the world around us.

    4. We must teach literature at all levels because if students get used to it, they will become aware of the importance of it, they will not see as a boring thing or as a mandatory homework they need to finish. In the other hand it will develop their speaking and reading skills and their critical thinking.

  20. 1.--I do not consider myself addicted to the literature,But sometimes read some Books that I consider important for a class or homework and also I like to spend my time reading books that call my attention like romantic stories,Or topics that are different from the common.

    2.-- I learn some things like:
    # Techniques that we can use to teach the importance of literature in teaching.
    # Texts that we can use to teach depending on the level and skills of the readers.
    # How important literature is in the development of any subject.

    3.-- after watching a video, I can say that literature can change minds, thoughts, actions and ways of living, why? because the literary is in every part of our daily life, we find books that show us history as well as books with which we identify for our personal and sentimental life.We can know and see the life and experiences of writers and the message they transmit through it,THE LITERATURE are not only empty words or nonsense words, it is more than that is a way of seeing life, society, the whole world through another perspective.

    4.- In my personal opinion it is important to teach literacy at all levels, Because through literature we can create a wise society, a society that not only read by obligation but by passion. And also achieve a society that knows about history, love, things of daily life, situations that leave us bad experiences and ways to avoid a world of loneliness

  22. 1) I do not consider myself a big fan of literature. Actually, I used to think that literature was boring. A year ago I had never read a complete book but one day I felt very sad but I do not like to tell the people the way I feel, so I looked for a book in order to find the correct words to describe the way I was feeling or maybe someone telling me by that words I was not alone and I found it and was amazing how reading that book helped me to pass throgh that situation (the video talks about this). Nowadays I read the more I can because I have realized that reading is not boring.

    2. First, literature is important and it is a good way to teach through it.
    Second, the students develop comprehension, critical thinking, and language skills and also new vocabulary, so on.
    Third, I have learned some techniques to teach students beacuse lietarture is necessary in our lives and you learn so many things and it can also be funny.

    3.Literature Benefits:
    1. It saves you time: Litearture is the gratest reality simulter, it gives us access to a range of emotions and events and it introduces you to fascinating people.
    2.It makes you nicier: literature performes the basic matric of showing us what things look like from someone else's point of view and it shows us examples of kindly, generous, imperfetic people.
    3.It is a cure for loneliness: The books find the words to describe special experinces in our lives. Books are TRUE friends.
    4.It prepares you for failure: Great books do not judge us hardly as the media does. Literaure is theraphy.
    Literature deserves its prestige beacuse it is a tool to help us live and die with a little bit more wisdom, kindness and sanity.

    4. We must teach literature in all levels because it has so many benefits and because making time for recreational reading helps to develop enthosiastics readers and also improve achievement.

  23. 1.Well the truth is I like literature captures a lot me attention, what I do not have is time to read but if I enjoy do it when I have the opportunity
    2. I have been learned #1 study of literature #2 formal and informal language #3 prose and poetry themes
    3.

  27. 1. Are you a big fan of Literature? Why? Why not?
    I admire the literature but i am not nearly a big fan because i have read many books and many of them were amazing but I am pretty sure I wouldn’t read them again because I am kind of lazy reader and the books that I have finished I read them all maybe because the story was too engaging, not for a self-desire to read it.

  28. 1. Are you a big fan of Literature? Why? Why not?
    • Is a big question, of course and mention that for our Honduras culture we were not taught in school and it is for them that we do not like to do it. But it has to be something really very interesting and that has to draw my attention so that I can read; or that has to evaluate me as in this class that is quite reading.

    2. Mention three things you have learned in the class so far
    • Critical thinking

    • To discard that we must teach under the standards of quality so that our future pupils learn to love literature and that it is not a kind of ugly and the class they hate.


    • Motivate students to be lovers of reading with the different techniques we have learned, never use the traditional. Innovation must be a powerful tool in our lives as teachers.

    4. Why must we teach Literature at all levels?
    • Literature exposes students to complex themes and fresh, unexpected uses of language. A good novel or short story can take the students to foreign countries and fantastic worlds. A play or a poem can bring up certain dilemmas and powerful emotional responses. All this can be transposed to their real lives.
    • Literature teaching in the language classroom is whether literature language is somehow different from other forms of discourse in that it breaks the more usual rules of syntax, collocation and even cohesion.
