THE IDEA OF THE PROJECT DERIVES FROM THE PROBLEMS

The result of the survey we submitted in our schoolsindicates that

1-Students think that poetry,drama and classicsbelong to past, they are no more the part ofmodern life and modern education.

2-They are bored with these books while theyare studying as a text in their lessons.

3-They don't think learning them necessary for theireducation.

4-Those who like reading prefer the same kind ofbooks such as science fiction, detective stories,fantastic stories.

5-Their interest with technology keep them awayfrom reading and understanding poetry, dramaand classics. They like surfing the net, playingcomputer and video games instead of reading.

ALL THESE PROBLEMS CAUSE

1-Students have dificulty in writing about theirthoughts and making effective speeches in public.

2-They hardly understand the exam questions andmake comments on any issue and express theirideas .

3-They don't know to be respectful to the otheropinions.

4-They cannot put forward creative or innovativeideas as solutions to the problems.

So,we think that students will live difficultiesin their future lives and career in terms ofexpressing themselves.

the World Literature.

TRANSNATIONAL MEETINGS ARE FUNDAMENTAL

FOR THE PROJECT

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.

WE EXPECT TO GET POSITIVE IMPACT ON STUDENTS

-We believe that taking part in the activities and reading different kindsof books will lead students to improve their minds; their skills of writingspeaking effectively and understanding the other opinions and begin todevelop critical thinking.These improvements will reveal as competencein every stage of their future lives.

-We are planning to enhance their wonder of learning and adapt theseliterary works to their lives not only during their educational life butalso in their lifelong learning.Because we know that in every poem,playand classic novel there is a message for reader to experience in theirlifetime.
