Reading and rewriting the classics of literature at the time of distance learning

Abstract

This paper aims to reconstruct the phases and the development of a didactic module created in the spring of 2020, when schools were closed due to the health emergency, and e-learning was introduced in a second year class of a lower secondary school. The focus is on reading, analysing and creative re-writing of two literary classics, Orlando furioso and Don Quixote de la Mancha.
