Making Connections in Literature 8 Teacher Edition 4th Edition
The Making Connections in Literature (4th edition) two-volume teacher edition supports teachers in helping students analyze and evaluate literature and come to a biblical understanding of each selection. In addition, the teacher edition suggests natural opportunities to encourage collaborative learning in a school environment.
Lesson plans in the Making Connections in Literature Teacher Edition provide a scaffolded lesson pathway for teachers to follow that supports them in using the reading process to prepare students to understand complex texts.
Features: A lesson plan overview at the beginning of each unit for planning use. A structured teaching cycle with Engage, Instruct, Apply, and Assess sections. Specific, measurable objectives for learning goals. A variety of multisensory teaching strategies corresponding to each section of the teaching cycle. Reduced student pages for connecting additional content with pages from the student edition. Additional information for Before Reading sections. Answers and suggested answers to During Reading questions and Think & Discuss questions after reading. Differentiated approaches for instruction. Tagged objectives for biblical worldview shaping throughout the lesson plan overview. Teaching content for a novel study on Across Five Aprils (teacher novel included with teacher edition; additional student copies available for separate purchase). Instructions for assigning writing projects that encourage oral presentations, the use of technology, and making connections within literature.
Once reading skills are mastered, the Bob Jones reading curriculum becomes one of literature study from a Biblical perspective. Literary constructs and techniques are learned and explored in the context of both Christian and secular literary selections. There is increasing emphasis on the evaluation of literature against a Biblical standard. As in the lower grades, reading selections are carefully chosen and represent a variety of genres at each level. Many of these are excerpts or short stories. Grades 8 and up also include one full-length work as part of the course. In response to requests for more studies of complete works, new Study Guides have been added for The Scarlet Letter and Julius Caesar. These can be used anytime during high school. The Teacher's Editions for these studies contain the full-sized text with marginal notes as well as background information, commentary, discussion and/or essay questions, and project ideas. As the course emphasis at each level is a little different, we've further described individual course contents below. All of the Teacher's Editions contain a complete copy of the student text. In the 9th and 10th grade books, these are full-color with marginal notes and answers. All other grades have the reduced student pages in two-tone, again with marginal notes and answers. It seems like it would be difficult to share the student text - especially during discussion time - but it is possible to do so.
Testpacks include ready-to-use tests. Answers are found in the Testpack Answer Keys. Essential materials that are included in Home School Kits are listed first by grade level, followed by asterisked (*) support materials. Multigrade resources are listed together at the end.
A timeline kit to be used with the study guide above, covering the same time period. 20 key events and figures are provided for students to color, cut, and assemble on a timeline.
