LITSIG: Bringing Diverse Representation in Literature in ELT through Creative Reading Responses

This webinar invites teachers to explore a selection of contemporary children’s picturebooks, young adult and adult literature and key concepts related to Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) through creative teaching ideas and a variety of reading response activities. The aim of this exploration is to introduce teachers to material they can use in their lessons to incorporate contents of CSE and that will serve as a springboard for a series of activities. This webinar focuses on the incorporation of tasks that foster reflection, self-expression, creativity and critical thinking while dealing with topics of diversity, identity, social justice, gender stereotypes and roles.
