LITERATURE IN ACTION

This project was a finalist one in the IX Business Idea Contest promoted by Seville University.This proposal tries to make literature a visible science. Literature does not simply imply reading and getting input but it can also be an interactive process. In another sense, literature can be an innovative process and a way of expanding publishing business.

This idea grows out of the need to boost the publishing market and at the same time to open new market lines in the areas of toy companies and gifts in general. This project promotes graphic arts, creativity and intelligence at every age, and at the time it establishes a link between adult and child worlds. Educational policies and educational trainers proclaim the need for a bilingual environment because we know that it is essential to develop a solid professional competence. They would cover from linguistic aspects to cultural and cognitive. Each of these products would be a concrete CLIC (Content and Language Integrated Learning) product, which is a current methodology in the teaching of second languages.

This project covers proposals applicable to all languages, specifically Spanish and English contexts. In order to do so, the below tools have been used:
-Short story collection, "Drink a tale": Mugs are designed with story names.
The first part of the story name is written on the outer part; the sequel is visible as you have the content. It calls for the development of creativity and the hidden curriculum. It also works for adults using idioms and jokes.
-Bed Headboards or cradle protection pads.
These are divided in three rolling parts. Each part reads a label under the distribution subject + verb + complements. The complete sentences correspond to short story contents. They can also be set at random so that each child creates his own history or way sets so that the resulting sentences coincide with a traditional tale.

Carrying out these designs is experiencing literature out of an integrated approach. It enhances different mechanisms that allow literature to be part of our lives in a personal and a collective basis.
