Abeka American Literature Teacher Edition

Abeka’s upper-level literature courses highlight the excel­lent and good of human endeavors in liter­ature while casting a strong light on poetry. The hefty Student Texts provide needed intro­duction, author information, pronunciations, and vocabulary definitions. Finally, “Think It Through” questions require regular analysis of concepts and themes, particularly in light of Biblical principles and passages. Featuring a broad representation of excellent writing, these upper-level volumes add an Abeka edi­tion novel to each level.

Theme-organized middle school texts cover primarily Western Literature (short stories, poems, essays, the KJV Bible, and excerpts) from the classics and Christian authors of the 16th to 20th centuries. The grade 9 text, also theme focused, then lays a foundation for proper literature analysis and engagement in high school. World Literature overviews var­ied Western, Greek, and Roman writings, with the genre decidedly empha­sizing poetry, excerpts, and short stories. Selections often high­light Christian themes and missionary writ­ings. American Literature has a Puritan and patriot­ic focus, culminating in the early 21st century. The program ends with British Literature, a care­ful examination of poet­ry, religiously significant writings, and more from the Anglo Saxons to the 20th century.
