Abstract
The paper postulates that English literature teaching can be
made an enriching and worthwhile experience for children through the
use of graphic organizers introduced through visual literacy programs.
The concept assumes that the study of literature is an experience that
needs to be scaffolded step-by –step, and through the manipulation of
all senses, in order to be internalized. It should be a felt and an
absorbing experience. The paper presents the results generated through
experimental method (Randomized Pretest/Posttest Control Group
Design). Two groups of vii graders, who constitute the sample of the
study, were exposed to a treatment of three days. The paper concludes
that the use of graphic organizers can enhance higher order thinking
skills and develop aesthetic sense. The paper recommends that the
study may be used as an operative model in English literature and
language settings.Curriculum goals that promote child-centered inquiry
learning in science classrooms can only be met if teachers believe both
in the pedagogy promoted and in the perspectives on science
represented in that curriculum. Apart from those issues, an inquiryfocused curriculum requires teachers to engage their students in
activities (such as inquiry investigations) that they themselves may not.
