Creative Literature: Exploring Stories and Styles in French

Definition

la littérature

written works, such as novels, poems, and plays, that are considered to have lasting importance or artistic merit

Definition

un genre

a specific category or type of artistic, musical, or literary composition

Understanding Creative Writing in French
1. Creative literature is a way to use la langue française (the French language) to tell stories and express feelings.
2. While French ab initio focuses on everyday communication, learning about literature helps you understand la culture (the culture) better.
3. You will encounter different types of texts, from des histoires (stories) to des poèmes (poems).
4. These texts help you build le vocabulaire (vocabulary) and see how French speakers express complex ideas simply.

Note

In the IB, HL students must study two full literary works.
For ab initio students, you will look at shorter extracts or simple versions of these genres to help with your reading and writing skills.
