An PORTUGUÊS-INGLÊS teacher is designing a unit for her 11th-grade class aimed at fostering literary literacy. She wants to address a common issue: students often resist reading texts they perceive as 'difficult' or 'boring'. Her goal is to expand their reading horizons by carefully scaffolding the experience, moving from non-canonical literature that is close to their interests to more complex, canonical works. The chosen theme for the unit is 'The Quest for Identity.' The teacher plans to start with a popular, contemporary graphic novel that deals with this theme, such as Marjane Satrapi's 'Persepolis'. After analyzing the graphic novel, she plans to introduce James Joyce's 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.' The pedagogical challenge is immense, given the linguistic and structural complexity of Joyce's novel. The teacher's approach is based on the idea of 'schema theory' in reading, which posits that readers understand new texts by relating them to pre-existing mental frameworks, or 'schemata'. Her guiding principle is: 'To build a bridge to a difficult text, the teacher must first activate and build upon the students' existing schemata. By analyzing a more accessible text on a similar theme first, students develop a thematic and conceptual framework that they can then use to navigate the more challenging work. It is not about 'dumbing down' the canon, but about building up the reader.'
Which of the following strategies represents the most effective application of this scaffolding approach to foster literary literacy, from canonical to non-canonical literature?
