Download and read the document 'Ideas for working with literary and other authentic texts' Links to an external site., created by Suzanne Graham, hosted on the National Centre for Excellence for Language Pedagogy website. The key issues it outlines were drawn up as a result of our Creative Multilingualism project.

Compare the key issues listed in the document with the principles you drew up after reading the Victor Hugo lesson plan. How similar are they?

In the next section, we offer a summary of the stages we suggest you include in a lesson where you wish to use a text to help develop learners' creativity.
