• It teaches us about the human condition.
• Why is it important?
* Literature education is about teaching young people to appreciate what it means to be human. It is about what it means to care for someone or something and what it means if we lose it. It is asking what is important to us as a person as we relate to the world around us. Through the novel, the poem, the short story, the dramatic text, we explore with students different contexts which all deal with what it means to live and to live well.
