sweetpea3829 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Favorite lit guides? Primarily middle school but...anything's fine. Must must must have strong discussion questions. Not just regurgitate back, but actual discussion questions. Must focus on literary analysis. I don't care what they have for composition, vocabulary, etc. It's the discussions I'm looking for (without having to do a ton of legwork as I have done in years past.

Lori D. Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I don't like to do formal literature study with students under about grade 7 (grade 6 if they are advanced and "into"), so I can't help you with elementary age guides. A few that we found helpful with discussion in the late middle school/high school years: free online:Glencoe Literature Library (secular) -- middle/high schoolPenguin Teacher Guides (secular) -- high school/collegeBibliomania Study Guides (secular) -- high school/college for a fee:Garlic Press Publishers: Discovering Literature: Challenger level guides (secular) -- high schoolPortals to Literature (secular) -- high school; written for classroom, so need to a fair amount of adaptingProgeny Press high school guides (Christian) -- just SOME of the high school guides; some guides are very weakThe Great Books guides (Christian) -- not a lit. guide, but a guided worldview exploration, which is nice for a change; SOME, not allParallel Shakespeare (secular) -- the side-by-side original text and modern translation + teacher guide + student workbook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few that we found helpful with discussion in the late middle school/high school years: Sorry to hijack a bit, but I was wondering if you do a literature study for the younger grades, and if you do, what does it look like? Up until now, I have just given my DD10 books to read and digest without any need to discuss or create output. I've been wondering if I should be expecting more and what that more should look like.
