Teaching Literature 11–18, edited by Martin Blakely, is a practical resource for teachers who want to introduce literature effectively to students aged 11–18. The book explores ways of making literary texts accessible, engaging, and meaningful in the classroom. It provides ideas for teaching poetry, fiction, drama, and other literary forms, while encouraging students to develop their reading, interpretation, critical thinking, and communication skills.
The book emphasizes that literature should not simply be taught as a collection of difficult texts or literary terms. Instead, teachers can use creative activities, discussion, questions, and classroom interaction to help students respond personally and critically to what they read. It is particularly useful for English teachers, trainee teachers, and educators looking for practical literature-teaching strategies.
