Creative Activities to Improve Reading Comprehension in the Cuban School. (Original)

Abstract

This article discusses several definitions of creativity and offers one created by the author. It also describes the conditions that promote creativity and reflects on the role of the latter in the development of reading motivation. It also presents a system of creative activities for text comprehension, which can be applied in Spanish-Literature classes in Cuban schools. This proposal exemplifies the analysis of a piece of flash fiction through a system of activities that follows the three levels of comprehension: intelligent, critical, and creative. The exercise can be completed from the ninth grade of Cuban General Education. The results obtained in the future will help to validate the effectiveness of the proposal, make modifications and create new activities.
