Lightning Lit & Comp: British Lit Mid-Late 19th Century 3rd Edition (Lightning Lit & Comp)

New Third Edition, Perfect Bound- Hewitt's Lightning Literature and Composition guides use full-length novels, autobiographies, plays, essays, short stories, and poems to teach deep reading and composition skills. Unlike some literature programs that take a scatter-shot approach (where none of the literature seems connected) or that try to dump too much into one book, Lightning Literature guides focus on a few classics in depth, in a systematic manner. These guides are available for junior high and high school. Students read in this order: Alfred, Lord Tennyson (selected poems; text in this Guide); George Eliot (novel: Silas Marner); Charles Dickens (novel: Great Expectations); Lewis Carroll: (selected poems; text in this Guide); Robert Louis Stevenson (travelogue/essay, text in this Guide:"The Silverado Squatters"); Oscar Wilde (play: The Importance of Being Earnest); Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, (short story, text in this Guide: "The Adventure of the Speckled Band"); Rudyard Kipling (novel: Stalky & Co.) Lessons cover conflict, rhyme and meter, local color, theme, genre, and sources of ideas and include information about the authors, comprehension questions, writing exercises, and reading lists appropriate to the period or subject. Comprehension questions, semester and full-year schedules, and a bibliography are also in the Guide. Book-length works are sold separately and in a pack (see Related Items below). Free Teacher's Guide is included with answers and schedules.
