Classic literature  is a fantastic way of getting your students more out of their comfort zone than usual and getting a wide perspective on the language. In this scaffold, we use a Tabu-like game to get your students thinking and making connections about all the details of the story and in the end, they’ll be swelled with pride for the understanding they have of the story as a whole.
Varied techniques, the reading of authentic classic literature is an incredibly enriching experience (although your students may not appreciate or admit this until years later!). Gamify the learning and you have students begging for more!!!
