Elements for a literary education plan

Article Title:Elements for a literary education plan

Abstract:
Literary education in Primary and Secondary School must follow comprehensive plans based on the actual principles of Literature and Criticism. In English-speaking countries during the last decades plans have been based on the literary and educational thought of Northrop Frye. This article overviews these theories and in-class manuals to provide guidelines for similar developments to teach Spanish Literature. These pedagogical plans should start with folk and fairy tales and popular rhymes, later include myths, national legends and the Bible, in order to develop the students' sense of sound, symbol and pattern, as a basis for the continuous study of high poetry, fiction and drama in the Secondary School.
