The Use of Literary Works in Teaching Latin American Geography
Abstract:Abstract

Properly selected literary works can spark student interest in regional geography. Since evidence is mounting that reading levels of students are continuously declining, special attention may be needed to draw students to books. Whereas a textbook, even a well-written one, may fail to hold a student's attention or stimulate him to attempt further reading, an exciting and informative novel may produce the desired response. Students can learn to appreciate the practical application of traditional geographic writing and instruction through the instructor's careful integration of course themes with the pseudo-real-life plots of fiction or the true-life situations recounted in biographical works or travel accounts.
