Capt_Uhura Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 What is Windows to the World? Do you have a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4kids4me Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 What is Windows to the World? Do you have a link? http://www.excellentresources.net/ThemeBased.html It's from IEW: Windows to the World: An Introduction to Literary Analysis There is no question that literature has the power to move us, but how does it get that power? With step-by-step instructions, Windows to the World teaches students how to analyze elements of literature. This reference also contains numerous examples and suggestions to teach students how to build and exercise discernment. The accompanying Teacher's Manual is suitable for both new and experienced teachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Interesting! I'm not sure as Pudewa and Andrews worked together and I know some of the Center for Lit products are sold on the IEW website. I would call them. It sounds like Teaching the Classics but perhaps not. Here is TtC at the IEW website. http://www.excellenceinwriting.com/catalog/poetry-1 Windows to the World (from IEW website) http://www.excellenceinwriting.com/ILA-T Why do certain literary works have the power to move us? With step-by-step instructions, Windows to the World teaches students how to analyze elements of literature. This reference also gives numerous examples and suggestions for helping students develop Christian discernment skills. The accompanying Teacher’s Manual is suitable for both new and experienced teachers. †Contains distinctly Christian content Teaching the Classics does not contain distinctly Christian content. He does mention it, but I was not offended or put off by it and I'm not Christian. Also Windows to the World is listed as level C while TtC is listed as levels A,B,C. I think WthW is meant for older kids and sounds more similar to Adam Andrews Worldview Supplement which was entirely Christian - how to interpret literature through a Christian worldview. Does that help you? Capt_Uhura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
