Publisher's Description of Divine Comedy Instructional Videos (Streaming)
This product is a lifetime membership that gives you unlimited access to stream the Instructional Lessons. Each lesson is around 30 minutes in length.
Upon the literary foundation of the West, laid by the hands of Homer and Virgil, sits a cathedral. That cathedral is Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. One of the crown jewels of both Western and Christian literature, the Comedy is an epic, allegorical poem accounting Dante’s spiritual journey of redemption that takes him through the pit of Hell (the Inferno) to the Beatific Vision of God (the Paradiso). The Comedy is necessary to any classical curriculum, for it is the union of two traditions, both Christian and classical. Let us be a Virgil (Dante’s guide in the Comedy) as we introduce your student to a great book meant to be read for a lifetime.

Category Description for Divine Comedy Memoria Press Classical Studies
Memoria Press does it again; helping you teach a very difficult text in manageable bits. Why read Dante? This book came out of the late Middle Ages and impacted literature from the Renaissance to the 20th century. Its lessons on depravity and consequences are an extremely valuable lesson about the human condition for teenagers to learn. One man and his struggle for hope in a world of political, social and spiritual upheaval (sound timely?) is the center of Dante Alighieri's novel as translated by John Ciardi.
The Teacher Guide has lessons for you to present each "canto" or section. You will have all of the answers to the student guide, plus step-by-step assignments that are not in the kids' book, like memorization, vocabulary, discussion starters and some background overview material to make you look good! The material itself is complicated, but the Teacher Guide is easy to follow. There is a section of Drill Questions and then the Test Answer Key. There are no blank student pages in this book.
The Student Guide is meant to be written in by the student as you read the Comedy. It is logically divided by the cantos (chapters) and there are vocabulary words that refer to a specific line in the canto. There are comprehension questions with plenty of space for answers. In the back is a place to write answers to the Drill Questions (50 short answer questions) from the Teacher Guide.
The Quizzes & Tests are numbered and each one covers one or two cantos. Questions are matching, multiple choice, short answer and some which require about a paragraph answer. There are quizzes, a mid-term (matching, short answer, and a mini-essay which has two pages of lines), and a final exam in the same format as the mid-term for each of the three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. There are no answers in this book.
The Lesson Plans book provides Monday-Friday step-by-step plans for 28 weeks, equaling about 140 lessons altogether.
The Divine Comedy Instructional Videos provides forever streaming to 52 videos averaging 30 minutes each in length. Each one covers about 2 daily lessons worth of instruction, so you would watch one about every other lesson.
There are two package options. Package MPL111 includes Student and Teacher Guide, Quizzes and Tests, and Divine Comedy (53265). Package MPL11T includes Student and Teacher Guide, Quizzes and Tests, and Divine Comedy (53265), and the lifetime access to the instructional videos (Streaming).
I think it would be hard to teach such a classic and heavy text with only one of these books. You really need a package to effectively make it work. Everything is laid out for you to follow. ~ Sara
