Publisher's Description of BJU Press Elements of Literature Teacher (Book & CD) 2nd Edition
Elements of Literature Teacher's Edition is a two-volume text that helps teachers strengthen students' understanding of literature by focusing on the teaching of advanced literary concepts. The teacher's edition features wide margins with ideas for leading class discussions and suggested teaching resources. Students will learn the means and the importance of literary analysis by studying pieces from several genres and interpreting them in light of biblical principles. The toolkit CD includes quizzes, reading and vocabulary standardized test practices, ESL exercises, writing worksheets, writing rubrics, and reproducibles.
This level continues to build on the Biblical and literary foundation provided in the 9th grade text. Literary concepts are illustrated with biblical examples and analyzed and applied to key literary selections. Units include Imaginative Comparison, Sound & Syntax, Allusion & Symbol, Irony, Folktale & Epic, Essay & Short Story, Poetry and Drama. The course culminates with Romeo and Juliet. Although we found the selections to be rather depressing in the first edition, the course was updated for 2012 and includes new authors and selections.
