WORLD LITERATURE QUIZ SHOW IN OUR SCHOOL
It was the first time I read a novel with my family “Lord of the Flies” from the World Literature for
the Erasmus project “POETRY DRAMA AND CLASSICS ARE ON STAGE”.
With my classmates and some friends from the other classes
joined the Reading Hours activity in the school and we chose the novel
(which won the Nobel prize) written by English writer William Golding
with the help of our teachers to read within two months. While we
were reading the novel, the best thing was we had a chance to discuss
about the plot,about characters and the writer who gives a lot of
message to the reader.
It was a very different experience for me because I have never
had a chance to read and to discuss about a novel with my family
before . Reading, Debating and the last step of the activity is Literature
Quiz Show. As my friends I was excited and my aunt as well. When I was
at the competition the only thing that I thought was not how to win, it
was how to have fun. But I must confess that we also wanted to win the competition. And we managed to
be winner in the end answering more questions about the novel than other contestans .
When we won the competition, I felt very happy to succeed something that can affect my school
life good., I had so much fun in that competition. Actually not just in the competition in the whole project.
The things that I've gained except my award are new friends and better relationship with my aunt. And I am
so grateful to this project's coordinator and one of the teachers who gave me a chance in that amazing
experiment, Esen Kuvvet.

My sister and I participated in one of the activities of our Erasmus Project “POETRY DRAMA AND
CLASSICS ARE ON STAGE”. We read one of the classic from French Literature “Les Miserables”. We were
satisfied with this reading process because we learnt the history,social life of the period French
Revolution.In what condition people lived and what they struggled for.
After reading the novel, I decided to join the The World Literature Quiz Show with my sister Aylin since
we read the novel together and we discussed about the plot, characters and the setting and now we know
a lot about the novel and its writer Victor Hogo. I believe we would
answer most of the questions but it was a fact that other
contestants prepared well for the quiz show. We felt very happy
when the juries announced the winner my sister and me.
With this activitiy I improved my reading habit and my
prejudice completely changed towards classic novels. I never find
them boring to read any more ,on the contrary, I believe everybody
should read them. Because they consist immense information for
us. We would like to participate in such international projects in the
future.
