How We Teach Literature 8
Close Reading with the Reading Process
As students follow the reading process, they will accomplish close readings of each selection, learning and using reading strategies that help them come to a richer understanding of the selections, genres, authors, and themes covered in this course.
Gradual Release of Responsibility
The teaching cycle in the teacher edition enables teachers to encourage students to become independent learners by progressing from whole-class instruction to collaborative learning activities to independent learning activities in each unit.
Contemporary Selections
In the student edition, students will find relevant, contemporary selections balanced with notable classic selections that they will find easy to engage with.
Thematic Units
The student edition organizes selections into six themes. Literature selections within each unit help students develop a cultural understanding of the themes. General activities and Big Questions provide natural opportunities for worldview shaping.
