This unique calendar is the outcome of extensive research into the gamification of English language and literature pedagogy. Each month spotlights a thematic intersection—such as Climate Change and Literature, AI and Literature, or Sports Literature—alongside key authors and representative works from the genre.
In addition to offering a concise overview of each theme, the calendar includes a short quiz designed to stimulate curiosity and sustain learner engagement. Conceived as a collector’s item, it continues to offer pedagogic and enrichment value well beyond its functional use as a calendar.
How to use it for Curiosity Workshops:
- Use the brief thematic note for each month as an entry point for extended discussion and critical analysis at The Workshop.
- The accompanying quiz questions are intended to generate further inquiry; facilitators may frame parallel or follow-up questions to deepen engagement and sustain learner interest.
- The listed authors and works are indicative rather than exhaustive. Participants at Curiosity Workshop can be encouraged to introduce additional texts and writers from each genre to enable more in-depth exploration.
