Descripción
Sumario:RTTP (reacting to the past) is a role-play based learning model. This model or system has been successfully implemented in various North American universities. According to print and video testimonials, this method has proved to be very useful in helping students learn history and develop other capabilities through engagement with the main ideas and actions of the past. In this essay I present an adaptation of this model to the teaching of literature. During the month of October 2014, the model was applied to the study of Medieval Spanish Literature in a game dealing with Alfonso X and his ambitions of becoming Holy Roman Emperor. This text explains RTTP briefly and then proceeds to discuss some of the attributes of this model. It includes a description of our activity termed 'The deed of empire: game of thrones' with reflections on the results obtained. I also include proposals for further adaptation of this model in the teaching of literature.
