Currently I'm having a practical training in high school - I study literature comparative and now I'm preparing to be a literature teacher. Everything seems easy cause I study at the best universityin the country, but... I'm a bit confused. This is a very good school (actually - I used to go there when I was younger;))), my supervisor is really requiring and generally... I would like to impress everyone leading my classes;) What do you reccomend? How to present literature to them so that these lessons would be interesting, full of inspiration for them and of course showing that I'm a good teacher?

Be creative in your choice of activities. Also, be sure to structure your discussion or study from simple, concrete questions (example: what happens?) to harder, more specific questions.
Laugh with your students.

I took honors courses in High School English and I found that discussion Groups were the most interesting and entertaining form of learning. I was able to learn and process more information this way. I was able to expand my knowledge by listening and dissecting what others had to say about a particular essay, book, poem.When test were given my grades vastly improved because I not only had the book itself as a reference but the dialog between my classmates and myself. I do not know what her method was, but my teacher had a note book and would talley points in the discussion, so we were learning and getting a grade.

I'm a junior in high school and the best way to do that is to try to make them laugh EVERY NOW AND THEN. Don't be too strict or to fun, have a balance between the two, and you'll be great!!!

just put emotion in what you are reading and try to make it fun you have to become what it is that you are teaching and you have to feel it before you try to have others do the same.
this is what my high school english teacher used to do with us and now I want to become a teacher and i understand the material better then someone standing there and not caring about it.

Many young people these days don't enjoy reading. It will be your job to inspire and motivate them. "Catcher In The Rye" would be a good one to start with. Jack London's "The Call Of The Wild" is another good one. Good luck!

First of all don't try to impress anyone you will fall flat on your face. Choose a novel and topic that you are inspired by and have passion for. LYour creativity will flow and you will come up with many interesting ways to presnt because you are truly moved by the topic.
