Literature Lessons in Zhonghua Secondary School

Literature at the lower secondary levels are being taught in the first semester of the year for the Secondary Ones, and in the second half of the year, they would focus on History instead. Similarly, the Secondary Twos would study History in the first semester of the year  and study Literature in the second semester. Five periods (Three lessons per week) are dedicated to Literature every week,

The school uses a textbook to teach Literature for the Secondary Ones and teaches them Short stories first before embarking onto poems. As I'm currently teaching the sole Secondary One NA class, it difficult for me to gauge the general students' interest level and aptitude for Literature in this school.

Every year, they have a literary festival for their students. This year, the Secondary Ones are supposed to research and select an Asian Haiku or Limerick to perform. They would perform the poem and the best group in the class would be selected to take part in an inter-class competition amongst the Secondary Ones. As for the Secondary Twos, they would be dramatizing a self-composed script based on Local Myths and Legends and competing with each other as well. These tasks are given as their March holiday assignment and they will have to showcase their work in the first week of Term 2. I'm not certain what sort of programmes the Upper Secondary Level Classes are involved in. However, I do know that they have a pure literature class for Secondary Three and Four.
