need2read Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Can anyone share a table of contents for Scott Foresman Classics in World Literature? I can't find one anywhere. Thanks! Quote

need2read Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 It is several pages long. Was there anything in particular you wanted to know? Well, really I guess I just need to know what literature it covers, so maybe just a book list? Quote

Lawyer&Mom Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Wow, I wish we had had some of those lying around my high school! Looks like a nice cross sample of literature. Quote

Saddlemomma Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I don't know if this will help you or not, but I found a complete trimester course breakdown for the World Lit book. There is the option for a regular course or honors course. It is provided by Mr. Menger. He provides a complete outline of the course, vocabulary, unit assignments, essay criteria, calendar and more. Following his plan will earn 1 credit. From what I've reviewed, it's quite meaty and well planned. Mr. Menger's World Literature Course Edited to Add: I've discovered the calendars break down the reading assignments. When you click on one of them (depending upon whether you want Honors or Regular) you will first see a blank calendar with the current date highlighted. To get the reading assignments, click on the Agenda tab on the upper right side. Then, click on Look For Earlier Events. You may have to click on this several times. Keep an eye on the "Showing events after (date)" Events will keep loading until you have them all. Once you have all the events, you only need to click on the event title underneath the date and the reading assignments/schedule for that day will appear.
