This work aims to reflect on the didactic possibilities of the fever of La cigarra and the jam through different versions of the fun. Showing different literary adaptations allows us to offer learning opportunities that are not achieved by a single text. To this end, we will deepen the possibilities for analysis and method from as diverse disciplines as didactics, sociology of literature or literary criticism. On the other hand, our intention is to teach the text as if it were a living being born, growing and reproduced.
