Hi, Esther!
You wrote: "when teaching literature, if a teacher shows real JOY and
enthusiasm in teaching, and does so in a way relevant to pupils' lives, I
find that even those who are lacsidasical get interested and participate"
If it's being done in school, I agree that project work is more interesting
and rewarding than another frontal lesson and as for literature - no doubt
that a good Literature teacher will make those lessons just about the most
meaningful lessons a pupil will have. But it's natural and normal that
teenagers usually won't see their schoolwork as the thing they most desire
to do. Internet, cable TV, hobbies and their social lives are so much more
inviting.
You wrote "Leonie, don't your pupils do most of the project work AT SCHOOL
and not at
home? We do the vast majority of project work in class (or the p.c. room) so
we can follow
what they are actually doing"
Last time I taught at High School, there wasn't enough time to do projects
solely in class and I understood that was a general set-back. When my own
children (studying at high school) had to do some or a lot of the project
work at home, they weren't enthusiastic at all.
