Books Level 2

Procedures

  • Action Engaging/Thrilling plot, suspense, possibly open endings.
  • Chronology The action's chronology may be structured in a non-linear way, time shifts and shifts of perspective are clearly marked.
  • Storyline(s) Several storylines clearly interconnected.
  • Perspective Different perspectives that are clearly marked.
  • Meaning Several layers of meaning, simple, non-ambiguous ideas (the reader tends to read only the first layer of the meaning).

Style

  • Vocabulary Simple and familiar. Current, contemporary, mainly everyday language.
  • Sentence construction Simple and clear.
  • Stylistic Vivid and evocative language, more subtle humour and irony. Basic figures of speech.

Characters

  • Character Characters are well-developed, with predictable developments, belong-ing to either familiar experiences or to fantastic worlds.
  • Number Few characters. Bigger numbers can be coped with as long as a few main figures offer an orientation for the reader.
  • Relations Explicit, non-ambiguous, clearly marked.

Level matrix

You will find here 4 or 6 levels of literary development in secondary education. At each level you will find a typology and a list of suitable books, a typology of the student as a reader and an inventory of appropriate classroom activities (‘transitions’), that help students to ‘LIFT’ their literary competence to a higher level.
