Abstract
Centring on an analysis of Kate Chopin's Desirée's Baby, this contribution aims to share part of the experience from a training course on US literature for high school teachers organized in November 2023. It demonstrates how literature and literary studies can offer engaging, innovative, and diverse approaches to fulfil the objective of forming responsible and active citizens, a goal introduced with the study of Civic Education in Italian schools in 2019. Additionally, this contribution provides teachers with ready-made materials for students to use in their classes. In its ambiguity and perfect construction, Désirée's Baby exemplifies Chopin's ambivalence and multivocality. It is an excellent text for exploring intricate issues such as the manipulation of facts, identity, and cultural traditions, all resonating with contemporary societal challenges.
