Living with
Literature
This is a five-day intensive and experiential holiday programme that targets the intricacies in Literary Texts.
What does this poem mean? What impressions can I form of the characters? How is this chapter linked to the theme? This holiday, we're bringing you on an adventure into the world of literature.
With a unique teaching approach and carefully-crafted materials, our holiday programme will arm you with a literary pickaxe to mine meaning from your texts. Enlivened by fun and games such as poetry slams, hot seating, tableaux, and even a murder mystery… are you ready to get lit with Lit?
