Each session will be self-contained. Thus, teachers can decide on how many they wish to attend.
They can also choose to read the novels beforehand (copies are available at KEL's) or attend the sessions in order to familiarize themselves with the authors via excerpts.
The sessions will be organized in terms of workshops for participants to enrich their understanding of the texts with contributions from the group. The latter will discuss the target audience for each text, points of entry, textual interventions and intertextual links which can be established with other verbal or visual texts.
