“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” Lewis Carrol

Well...I'll go first, because maybe you feel ashamed and do not dare take the first step :@

For me, literature is a very important part of my life. It helps me escape to unknown places whenever I want to dive into amazing scenarios and put behind the strains of this world. It also teaches me about new cultures and ways of life, and everytime I take a book in my hands I feel it's going to enrich my knowledge.

My expectations for this year are very high (as they usually are!) and I hope we can create a nice environment to work in.

As regards ideas and auggestions...I'm open for everything (as long as it can be related to what we are doing, needless to say)

Looking forward to your answers in our blog!!!

Love ;)

I don´t like reading a lot(and less in english), but I think Literature is really important in the life of a person. Reading gives you the opportunity to impruve your knowledge and it can also give messages for your own life.
My expectations for this year in Literature is reading interesting books and have fun at the same time we learn. I think is a nice way to learn also so Alda,I would like
you to take this into account jajaja. See you ! THE BEST OF THE WORLD, Manesh.

I think that literature is important because by reading you are not only learning new things but enterteining yourself (as long as its a good book).
I really expect to read nice and enjoyable books this year like "to kill a mocking bird" (it was THE BEST)

Hey Aldu ! I know its a bit too late but I didnt have time to do this before, they are killing us with homework!! :S

Well, I think lots of thing about literature, but mainly I considert it a way of art. And as art I think is in the worl to make it better. I believe that any form of literature is deeper than what is apears to be. I think that every single word expresses what the author is feeling or thinking; and its trying to tell us. With any simple story, literature help us to see the word arround us with different eyes. It teaches us some lessons and sometimes it just simply atracts us. I strongly believe we should analice everything we read, because behind any storie, as simple as it could be, there is something deeper and meanful.

I hope this year we read some interesting things, wich I am sure we wiil. I algo think we should analice the stories in class and talk about it, by discusing what each of us has interpretated.

Reading is a good way to pass the time (although I usually play games or watch tv) as long as you like what you are reading otherwise it becomes quite heay and it won´t catch your attention.

One of the best books I have read is Kane and Abel, and I expect nice books this year.

Fede (the besttt :P xD)

I think it is important to read. I like reading but only books i chose, not the boring ones from school. The only year we read good books was 8th, and in "Lengua" not in literature. I have already started reading "The Importance of being Earnest" and it's quite nice, it doesn't catch my whole attention, but is not a heavy story. I excpect good books for this year. (I hope)

PatO :D

I think it's very important to read, because by reading you also improve your vocabulary and writing besides learning new things. But honestly (8) (PATO), i don't really like reading, only the newspaper jaja. So, this year I expect good and interesting books, so.. no pride and prejudice this year or anything similar jaja

I think literature is useful for developing our minds, and broaden our thoughts' range.

My expectations for this year are reading interesting books that may help me to achieve what Ive already said.

I think literature is very important in people's lives. It gives you general knoledge and it opens your mind.
I particulary enjoy reding very much, but only if I like what I am reading, if not, I find it really boring and I also like reading in English a lot.
My expectations for this year are to like what I will read, learn more about literature and enjoy the classes with Aldu the best and my classmates!!!:)

Anónimo dijo...

What I think about literature is that, although I doesn't like so much reading, it's really important and essential in someone's life because, when you read, you improve your vocabulary and culture.
My expectacions for this year is to learn more about literature, to read interesting books, and the IMPORTANT thing, here we go .. HAVE FUN!!!!! :) jijiji

I think literature is very important in someone´s formation as it makes you see things maybe you hadn´t before, and it enriches your knowledge. I expect for the clases to be dinamic and the books to be entertaining and catching.

In my opinion, reading is a really important part for everybody, it's a great way to solve problems, to get inform about many things, or sometimes it's a way of escaping from reality.
I like reading every kind of books and I think that Literature as a subject is a good way for us to discover new books and for us to get interest in reading.
