Literature Annotated Teacher's Edition Texas (Orange Level)

This guide to the program's components is filled with practical teaching strategies that guide your students before, during, and after reading. Clearly labeled teaching strategies for pre-reading, guided reading, post-reading, and assessment are provided for each selection.

These four types of selection annotations provide helpful background information, discuss literary elements and techniques, and prompt critical thinking and personal response. You will appreciate the complete, appropriate responses right in the book, along with a metacognition feature to help students understand their own thinking processes and cooperative learning activities to provide teaching options. You will also see writing checkpoints-for help evaluating students' written responses-and other practical features. This book contains un-adapted, uncut selections that represent the finest traditional and contemporary literature. Organization by Genre, sustained study of literary techniques, logical organization of study questions, integration of reading and writing instruction, comprehensive vocabulary study, and emphasis on critical thinking.
