Sometimes the best ideas on how to approach the teaching about and analysing literary works come from our students themselves. In my classes, they are encourage to come up with interactive activities focused on various aspects of literary works, and often they manage to pleasantly surprise me when they create either wonderful and insightful presentations or even games based off given texts. Their ideas, in turn, inspire me to develope them into lesson plans as a part of our project, so they in the furure even other teachers can benefit from them.

So today I want to express thanks to a number of students from CPU whose work I turned into lesson plans for this project and I want to acknowledge their authorship.

The first one is Ivana Kasalová who created a presentation on ecological themes in Wordsworth’s sonnet "The world is too much with us" and suggesting the idea that students and pupils learning about it can either try to create posters reflecting the timeless main message of the sonnet, or even try to write own poems to reflect on the impact of human activity, mainly industrialization, on nature in our days.

Another groups of students, Diana Ďuriková, Lucia Koszorúová, and Veronika Kupková, created a whole complex boardgame based on the reading of Charles Dickens’s novella "The Christmas Carol" accompanied with 60 questions payers have to answer as they progress along the board plan.
