    How We Teach American Literature

    1. Reading Process Approach: Three stages of the process—before reading. during reading, and after reading—help inform, scaffold, and assess students' objectives for each reading.
    2. Analysis: The teacher's modeling, the many questions, and class discussion all prompt students to return again and again to the text for answers, fostering the ability to read and analyze texts closely.
    3. Independent Learning: Independent reading suggestions enrich students and foster in them a love for reading which encourages them to read for pleasure outside of class.
    4. Creative Application: Additional writing lessons in the teacher edition and the student edition refine communication skills and encourage students to compose their own original work.
