As a solid model for integrating reading, thinking, and writing, Creating Quality Literature Units will help your custom-made integrated units stretch students abilities to think and write to thoroughly understand literature. This book was developed to aid teachers in writing their own literature study units. It is an excellent resource for busy teachers that provides:
- an effective pattern for lesson designs,
- a ready-made bank of stimulating questions,
- and a variety of student worksheets and activities to use in creating quality literature units.
Teachers can select any novel and design a comprehensive unit that incorporates activities that promote student understanding, literary analysis, and critical thinking.
Real understanding and appreciation of literature are the result of analyzing how an author uses various writing techniques; therefore, students need to study the whole works of literature. Your integrated units can make this happen!
