Our Prep student joined the English Language and Literature session and analysed William Blake’s poems with critical methods. 11^th graders joined the Comparative Literature session in which Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Çalıkuşu by Reşat Nuri Güntekin were analysed in terms of themes and imagologies. The goal of this symposium is to improve students’ literary and artistic intelligence, gain a critical approach to literary texts and the skill to exhibit their ideas in front of an audience. The symposium was completed with the manifesto and evaluation presentations.
