III.Literature as a Platform in Education for Sustainable Development

                    "Literature is the reflection of human experience". This quote is true. The human experience or a memory is different through everyone else eyes. Many people believe that literature comes from the writers imagination and that literature is just words do not mean anything to anybody; but, literature is a reflection of the human experiences because it allows people to look back on their memories like the author Harper Lee.

                       

                       The purpose of teaching literature in schools has often been debated especially during the recent concern of our "failing educational system" and the importance placed on high stakes tests. However, teaching literature not only improves reading fluency through the expansion of vocabulary, but also increases students' reading comprehension skills. Comprehension skills not only include retelling main events, but also include the ability to identify the author's choice or words, central themes, character development, symbolism, irony, etc.
Including literature expecially classical literature supports the idea of teaching a truly integrated curriculum.  For example, classical literature can be used to teach history and language arts.  One does not need to have a specific course designed solely around reading classical literature.  It can be used in history and writing classes to encourage higher level thinking skills.
                    


                     Today it seems that students need to not only learn from literature, but also understand how it applies to their lives.  Instead of having students read the whole of a "literary classics", teachers should begin to incorporate newer texts and excerpts from the classics can teach them the same lessons is becoming vitally important.  Students need to feel they can relate to what they’re reading; otherwise English and literature teachers will find themselves losing their audiences. Turning students off from literature is doing them a disservice, teachers need to ensure that their students cannot only read but can analyze and question the texts they are reading.

Haiku poem

Green grass in April
Birds begin to sing in trees
Children playing outside

Butterflies hatch.

Bees drink the juice from flowers.

Bees fly everywhere.

FROGS jumping around
Frogs hopping away from snakes
Frogs doing cool tricks

Birds chirping a lot
People singing all the time
Birds are going south!

I see bees fly
Nature Flowers are blooming.
Birds build their new homes.

Birds and bees flying
Soft blades of grass on my feet
New flowers blooming

The bees are buzzing.
Beautiful flowers are here.
The flowers smell good.

Baseball is starting
Spring is finally here yes!
The bees are buzzing.

Flowers are blooming
Bursts of colors come alive
Fragrant smells around us!

Spring, nature wakes up
Flowers and trees are blooming
Animals are coming out!

Tulips are blooming
Sun is out and shinning bright
Green grass is growing

Birds chirping their song,
Building their nest for their home
Getting ready for spring!

Beaches are open
Strong waves are hitting the rocks
Kids are coming back.

I hear birds singing.

Birds are chirping everywhere.

Their wings touch the sky.

Nature blooms, It's spring
Flowers awake from their nap

Cool breezes on my face!

Leaves flying around
The leaves are touching my head
Smell the fresh crisp air

Butterflies are flying
Their orange wings touch the sun
They perch on fresh leaves!

No school in summer.
Swimming in the cool water.
Sipping lemonade.

Spring flowers burst their color.
Birds fly back to their North home.
Animals hatching.

In spring flowers bloom.
In spring animals come out.
Best of all...it's warm!

Children are playing
Flowers blooming from the sun
Nature feeling good!

Bees buzzing, it's spring
Nature wakes up from its nap
While the wind blew softly.

An old silent pond...

A frog jumps into the pond,

Splash! Silence again.

Autumn moonlight—

A worm digs silently

Into the chestnut.

Lightning flash—

What I thought were faces

Are plumes of pampas?

Everything I touch

With tenderness, alas,

Pricks like a bramble.

Falling to the ground,

I watch a leaf settle down

In a bed of brown.

Its cold—and I wait

For someone to shelter me

And take me from here.

I hear crackling

Crunch, of today’s new found day

And know it won’t last

Falling to the ground,

I watch a leaf settle down

In a bed of brown.

A cricket disturbed

The sleeping child; on the porch

A man smoked and smiled.

I'm turning over

Look out and give me room there

You cricket, you.

We are but flyspecks 

on that window pane of life 

the window cleaner

Chicken or the egg? 

No Egg, No Chicken, Dummies 

it’s a no-brainer!

Like medieval knights 

Armor clad, in fields battle 

to reap victory

After summer's rain 

God's promise is remembered 

glorious rainbow

People united 

to secure their liberty 

Out of many, one

Ire's crest: David's Harp 

Spring words 'Aaron Forever' 

Covenants of God

Humbling the Irish 

God's creation of whiskey 

Preventing world rule

Patrick of England 

Preserving Erin's blood line 

Drove out the serpents

Fighting for freedom, 

fall of a valiant soldier 

resting in the Lord

'My sheep hear my voice' 

Christ did say, 'and I know them 

and they follow me'

New immigrant... 

face-to-face 

with falling snow

Over the wintry

forest, winds howl in  rage

with no leaves to blow.

Butterfly flying

Flying up into the sky

Going far away

Keeping in my heart

A promise until the end

Stay here forever

Cuddling on the bench

Enjoying the scenery

Ah! Priceless moment!

Holding her soft hands 

Walking at the lovely shore

Moments I treasured

Fireworks light the sky

Great moments to express love

Forever  you'll stay

Lovebirds in the cage

The couple loves each other

Romantic indeed!
