Softcover $11.95<br />

Hardcover $16.95<br />

“The more I used the text with<br />

the students, the more impressed<br />

I became. These are really<br />

premium pieces of literature.<br />

The excerpts get right to the crux<br />

of the issue. I could pick this up<br />

and use a tremendous amount<br />

without doing anything extra.”<br />

—Susan Osborne, English/Drama Teacher<br />

Shenandoah Valley Academy<br />

New Market, Virginia<br />

Literature & Thought<br />

A groundbreaking thematic literature program<br />

that teaches students to be critical readers and thinkers<br />

Literature & Thought emphasizes critical thinking skills with unique features<br />

that make it different from any other literature program available!<br />

<strong>Program</strong> Benefits<br />

• A unique questioning strategy guides students through thinking<br />

critically about literature.<br />

• Students read a wide variety of genres, including nonfiction selections.<br />

• A flexible teaching plan allows you to create your own literature<br />

program, supplement a literature anthology, or provide extension<br />

activities for a novel or informational book.<br />

• A strong Historical Events & Eras strand supports integrating<br />

literature and American history.<br />

• Vocabulary, writing, and discussion activities help students focus<br />

their thinking.<br />

• Student books have author biographies and thematic library sets.<br />

<strong>Program</strong> Design<br />

• An essential question for the entire book frames students’ reading<br />

and thinking.<br />

• Cluster questions (unit questions) tie the unit selections together<br />

and help students relate to the essential question.<br />

• Thinking skills are directly taught and applied throughout the<br />

anthology.<br />

• End-of-cluster activities help students synthesize what they have<br />

learned in a unit and respond to the cluster and unit questions.<br />

• A writing prompt at the end of each cluster asks students to<br />

respond to the cluster question.<br />

• Assessment options include an essay test, vocabulary quizzes, and<br />

scoring rubrics for individual projects.<br />

A Multicultural Reader<br />

Exemplary contemporary literature that blends the<br />

uniqueness and commonalities of all cultures<br />

These thematic anthologies present voices from African American, Hispanic,<br />

Asian American, Jewish, Greek, Italian, Arabic, and Native American writers.<br />

The selections raise questions that provoke students to reflect upon their<br />

own cultural heritage and to consider viewpoints other than their own.<br />

A NEW chapter—A Guide to Personal Writing—addresses personal narrative<br />

and personal voice. It provides student-written models and guides students<br />

through the writing process.<br />

Collection One, 364 pages. Collection Two, 462 pages.<br />

Special Focus: Making Cultural Connections<br />

Students connect with the universal themes in the books and<br />

begin to break cultural barriers by<br />

• comparing and contrasting cultural heritages and viewpoints<br />

• making personal connections with the stories<br />

• debating relevant issues<br />

• writing about their own cultural heritage<br />

“I love A Multicultural Reader. It is a wonderful way<br />

to supplement the traditional canon required at our school.<br />

Keep offering new and exciting choices!”<br />

—Michelle Rothwell, Principal<br />

Keystone School<br />

San Antonio, Texas<br />

American Short Stories<br />

1920 to the Present<br />

A distinguished and challenging collection of short stories<br />

Introduce students to a world of rich, meaningful literature written since<br />

1920 by important American authors—traditional stories as well as some<br />

not usually found in a high school text. 552 pages.<br />

Special Focus: Author’s Style<br />

Literary comprehension and appreciation is enhanced by an in-depth<br />

exploration of an author’s distinct manner of expression—a fundamental,<br />

yet challenging feature often glossed over by literature anthologies.<br />

Readers gain insight into distinct techniques used to convey a message<br />

and how this awareness affects interpretation. Students learn to analyze<br />

• characterization<br />

• tone and voice<br />

• presentation of personal values and world view<br />

• stylistic traditions—social realism, internal monologue<br />

• literary techniques—irony and humor<br />

• vernacular and dialect<br />

• use of language—lyrical, minimalistic, colorful, energetic<br />

most reluctant student.<br />

• prereading questions • a preview of literary elements<br />

• an act summary<br />

After-reading activities for each act<br />

being able to understand the play more completely and<br />

am eager to share the third edition with my students. Thank you!”<br />
