Poetry & Short Stories for the Logic Stage Teacher Guide, Second Edition (Memoria Press)

This Teacher Guide goes with Poetry & Short Stories for the Logic Stage Student Guide, 2nd Edition (002629). Although an exact copy of the student guide (pages match), this features additional teacher notes at the front of the book, correct answers overlaid on pages, and reproducible tests with test answer key at the back of the book. Because a maximum amount of student material is provided, teachers are encouraged to adapt the work to best suit the needs of their student, class size, and/or schedule. A teacher may choose, for example, to assign fewer vocabulary words and comprehension questions, having students focus their time on the Socratic questions instead. Teacher prep for this course is low, but reading the literary selection ahead of students is important for facilitating discussion or grading student work. All reading selections are found in Poetry & Short Stories for the Logic Stage Anthology, 2nd Edition (055456) which has changed just slightly from the previous edition. Although still focused on American short stories with a small back section of British poetry, Memoria Press added a few new authors to the list and highlighted different works for a couple of the previously existing authors literary genres over the years. For reference, stories are cited by paragraph and poems by line number, which is helpful for both students and teachers when completing or grading assignments. 128 pgs, pb. ~Nancie.
