The challenge of creativity : Using picturebook sequencing for creative writing
2021
With the aim to develop good teaching practices with regard to language
development and literary competence the chapter demonstrates how sequences
of pictures – in this case two sets of illustrations by Russian
illustrator Igor Oleynnikov – were used in two different but related
ways in the teaching of literature and language: to create a better
understanding of how literature works, and to stimulate creativity. In a
first workshop, the focus was on a Russian version of “Snow White,” called
“The Dead Tsarevna and Seven Bogatyrs.” The task, assigned to groups of
four, was to arrange the randomly presented illustrations in such a way that
the sequence made narrative sense. The second workshop was devoted to
Oleynnikov’s illustrations to “Judges.” The workshops were carried out with
two different cohorts of students, one in secondary, and one tertiary
education. In the chapter it is shown that each of the interpretive,
collaborative, and creative stages represents a learning opportunity that
engages the students’ linguistic and literary competence, as well as their
aesthetic sensibilities and metacognitive faculties.
