1. November - 2017 - Spain

3. THE IDEA OF THE PROJECT DERIVES
FROM THE PROBLEMS
The result of the survey we submitted in our schools
indicates that
1-Students think that poetry,drama and classics
belong to past, they are no more the part of
modern life and modern education.
2-They are bored with these books while they
are studying as a text in their lessons.

4. 3-They don't think learning them necessary for their
education.
4-Those who like reading prefer the same kind of
books such as science fiction, detective stories,
fantastic stories.
5-Their interest with technology keep them away
from reading and understanding poetry, drama
and classics. They like surfing the net, playing
computer and video games instead of reading.

5. ALL THESE PROBLEMS CAUSE
1-Students have dificulty in writing about their
thoughts and making effective speeches in public.
2-They hardly understand the exam questions and
make comments on any issue and express their
ideas .
3-They don't know to be respectful to the other
opinions.
4-They cannot put forward creative or innovative
ideas as solutions to the problems.

6. So,we think that students will live difficulties
in their future lives and career in terms of
expressing themselves.

7. OBJECTIVES

habit
2-create awareness that poetry drama and classics
are part of modern life
3-provide educational success and work career and

10. 14-teach the importance of Intercultural learning

16-understand the importance of group work with
effective communication and collaboration
17-break students' prejudice towards school with
the activities that they will begin to think that
school is a place which brings real life to the
classes.

11. All in all, we aim to open new windows for students
and teachers to broaden their minds analysing the
point of view of very important literary figures from
the World Literature.

12. TRANSNATIONAL MEETINGS ARE FUNDAMENTAL
FOR THE PROJECT
-to give space to the students, teachers and families to work
together with European schools for the activities.
-background and experiences of the partners will lead more
innovative approaches to the Project.
-students and teachers will get the opportunity of
experiencing the attitudes of different countries towards
poetry,drama and classics and to compare with their own
observing the European dimension of the project.

13. WE EXPECT TO GET POSITIVE IMPACT ON
STUDENTS
-So their perspective and prejudice towards poetry,drama and classics
will change,they begin to think that these works are the part of modern
education and modern life.
-We believe that taking part in the activities and reading different kinds
of books will lead students to improve their minds; their skills of writing
speaking effectively and understanding the other opinions and begin to
develop critical thinking.These improvements will reveal as competence
in every stage of their future lives.
-We are planning to enhance their wonder of learning and adapt these
literary works to their lives not only during their educational life but
also in their lifelong learning.Because we know that in every poem,play
and classic novel there is a message for reader to experience in their
lifetime.
