songsparrow Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I saw the Discovering Literature series by Garlic Press mentioned in another thread here. I took a look at them, and am interested in possibly using their challenging series this year with books like The Hobbit and The Lord of the Flies. Are there other resources like this, which provide discussion points and activities tied to classical books? Which would you recommend or not recommend? Thanks!

love2read Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've only seen the samples of DL so can't offer input. I've found excellent questions and ideas at these sites and they're free http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/HarperChildrens/Teachers/TeachingResources.aspx http://www.webenglishteacher.com/childlit.html http://www.glencoe.com/sec/literature/litlibrary/ http://www.nt.net/~torino/novels3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karenciavo Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I really got a lot out of SWB's talk on literary analysis. Here's the handout and audio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) I found these Glencoe Reading Lists for Parents. These tell which grades to use the Glencoe Literatures guides for, and also give more independent reading suggestions. North Carolina has also produced some workbooks for each grade. The Reading Strategies look good. All of these resources can be used with the Glencoe Literature textbooks, but can also be used as a stand alone curriculum.
