Learning is a vital process and literatura is an amazing tool for self-development, education and enjoyment. That is why itis widely present in our British Curriculum and takes a central role in it.
By including literature in education we giveout students a chance to explore the World and develop their critical thinking skills. It expands minds and horizons while building instinct, boosting curiosity and sharpen intuition to start thinking outside the box.
To make this process even more effective, our educational model promotes literature not only as a subject but insists in analysing, reviewing and discussing it. Besides, Reading is one of the most effective ways to expand one’s vocabulary.
Students should definitely take advantage of this event, grasp its power and the benefits of it.
