262. Encounter a classic


One day teacher A said to teacher B,
"Reading helps constructing ways of how to express ideas in English, also helps acquire grammar models and idioms.
My learners read classics.
Other teachers the same department propose other kinds of books.
The director is open to any proposal; this is the first premise.
Every year I plan a short set of abridged and simplified novels. Even I set only one reading for a year.
Besides, reading classics gives values to the kids, universal and positive and virtuous values to the learners who have been entrusted to me, and to the whole staff of teachers.
What values?
Think of love, faithfulness, asking God for things, perseverance, courage, forgiveness, comradeship, being audacious, friendship, obedience to someone above in the ranking in the army for example, loyalty, spiritual values, virtues or positive habits, hope, the family, and the like values.
It's worthy to implement. Do try.
Oh, by doing this way we read authors of the history of universal literature too.
That implies encountering, many times, the best stuff of the people who have done or have been something great, or have written great in history."
Fred Zinemann directed this movie, released in 1952, starring Gary Cooper. In Spain we know this film by Solo ante el peligro. (something like Alone facing a peril).
