Have you looked at TOG???? The rhetoric level literary analysis is heavy, heavy, heavy as in college level. I had to modify it for my 9th grader last year. I cannot imagine doing it AND another analysis program!!!! Yikes. I mean it was tough with meaty works like Les Miserables and Crime and Punishment!! It analyzed things deeper than I did in college!!!

:iagree: I can't imagine doing TOG lit. plus anything else. You don't need anything else. I always cut some works (as recommended by TOG) for my 9th graders.

Thank you all for your responses. I have never held TOG in my hands only looked at it online and that never gives you a real handle on how much to use it.

 

Thanks again
