Publisher's Description of American Literature Teacher Book

Enjoy beloved classics while developing vocabulary, reading, and critical thinking skills!

Each literature book in the series is a one-year course

Each chapter has five lessons with daily concept-building exercises, warm-up questions, and guided readings

Easy-to-use with suggested reading schedules and daily calendar

Equips students to think critically about philosophy and trends in culture, and articulate their views through writing

A well-crafted presentation of whole-book or whole-work selections from the major genres of classic literature (prose, poetry, and drama), each course has 34 chapters representing 34 weeks of study, with an overview of narrative background material on the writers, their historical settings, and worldview.

The rich curriculum's content is infused with critical thinking skills, and an easy-to-use teacher's guide outlines student objectives with each chapter, providing the answers to the assignments and weekly exercises.

Why did you choose this?

I like Masterbooks content and we are studying American History

Looking to simplify my High School teaching load, this program works more like a textbook, and is more independent than our previous program.
