Teaching Literature in Times of Crisis looks at the range of
different crises currently affecting students - from climate change
and systemic racism, to the global pandemic. Addressing the impact
on students' ability and motivation to learn as well as their
emotional wellbeing, this volume guides teachers toward strategies
for introducing both canonical and contemporary literature in ways
that demonstrate the future relevance of sophisticated and targeted
literacy skills. These reading practices are invaluable for framing
and critically examining the challenges associated with crisis in
order to help cope with grief and as a means to impart the skills
needed to deal with crisis, such as adaptability, flexibility,
resilience, and resistance. Providing necessary background theory,
alongside practical case studies, the book addresses: Reading
practices for demonstrating how literature explores ethical issues
in specific and concrete rather than abstract terms Making
connections between disparate phenomena, and how literature
mobilises affect in individual and collective human lives
Supporting teachers in considering new, imaginative ways students
can learn from literary content and form in online or remote
learning environments as well as face to face Combining close and
distant reading with creative and hands-on strategies, presenting
the principles of a transitional pedagogy for a world in flux. This
book introduces teachers to methods for reading and studying
literature with the aim of strengthening and promoting resilience
and resourcefulness in and out of the literature classroom and
empower students as global citizens with local roles to play.
