Analytical reading and Resistance poetry : Study of educational analysis techniques of literary texts in Year 10

subject

description

After underlining the complex evolution of teaching literature at Secondary school level, and the current difficulties faced when teaching the official syllabus, particularily as far as analytical reading is concerned, this study reveals the educational benefits of teaching Resistance poetry. An experiment carried out with Year 10 pupils, and the analysis of their reader's texts enables us to assess the educational importance of the study of Resistance poetry. Indeed, the characteristic indetermination zones create a motivational dynamic and stimulate interpretational efforts amongst the pupils. The prolific constraints of this type of text encourage a « dialectic » and plural literary reading of the text, contributing to the understanding of the notion of literary interpretation. The encounter with Resistance poetry appears then to be a valuable experience, encouraging pupils to progress and become more independent.
