Intertextuality and evaluation of its applicability to the poems of 9th 10th class literature books

The aim of this investigation is to show the intertextuality and to see if the intertextuality is used or not in poems at high scool books - which are prepared according to new programme. The place of intertextuality in programme of primary schools, highschools, how much it is used in poems of 9th ? 10th class books and if there is a releationship between these two classes, are the subheadings of the investigation. The investigation consists of analysing the poems and how much place is given to intertextuality in curriculum at 9th ? 10th classes? books. As an example 79 poems in Turkish Literature Book 9 ? 10 investigated. (Turkish Literature 9th Class Lesson Book) (Turkish Literature 10th Class Lesson Book) (MEB, Istanbul, 2006) To gain information in this search the lesson books of 2006 ? 2007 and the transmission of the books? poems are used. In the end of this investigation we see that the poems transfer to theme, custom, important verses, proverbs and idioms. But these poems show us that they don?t transfer between classes and among themselves. As a result we see that these poems are placed to the lesson books at random. Preparatory of the lesson books and curriculum should be more careful and conscious.
