Should literature be part of the English Bagrut Exam program?
A lot of English teachers think how to make the students success after graduate and they focusing on teaching how to speak correctly in English, and forget about the literature part.
In my opinion literature should be part of the English Bagrut Exam program, because literature expands the student’s horizons. This semester we did a literature project instead of having “F” module Bagrut Exam. This way of learning ware very interesting, while doing the project we read a poem, short stories and poems and do tasks during or after learning the literature pieces. Also we learned some thinking skills that can help us in real life.
In conclusion, I think that students must have a choice to choose learn according to the old program (ordinary Bagrut exam) of to do a literature project as my class did.

"Should literature be part of the English Bagrut Exam program?"

There are many argues between the teachers and the ministery of education to include literature in English exam.
In my opinion, literature should be part of the program of the studies for the English Bagrut exam. I think it is important to learn literature because it helps you to improve your knowledge of the language. You can learn more words and special structures and expressions. It takes you a lot of subjects for speaking and writing compositions.

In conclution I think that literature should be included into the Bagrut for improving your language.

Should literature be a part of the Bagrut exam?
Currently the English Bagrut exam is very superficial and general. Some teachers even think that making English literature a part of the Bagrut exam could make it more intensive. It could be not a bad idea.
English literature is very rich. There are a lot of talented classical poets and writers like Edgar Poe, Byron and Kipling. English literature is very beautiful, but the most brilliant masterpieces are very difficult as well - it could be a problem to a lot of students. The point of the English Bagrut exam is to teach us to talk, write, and understand Basic English. It is not easy to learn a new language. I think that not everybody will be able to learn literature and there will be much less students who will have 5 points for English Bagrut. Plus this is not necessary, because the ones who want to read and know English Literature will read it by themselves.
The literature doesn't have to be part of the Bagrut, but it has to be a small part of learning for the Bagrut.

The idea of putting the literature module into the English bagrut exam is quite interesting and new but the question is if it’s really that good.

I think that the literature module is very nice. The literature module can be very comfortable and the tasks are nice and good for improving English. The literature helps on keeping the students interested and it could be very useful for just knowing it.

Overall, I think that the literature module should be a part of the English bagrut exam as it’s very comfortable for learning English.
