Prentice Hall Literature: The American Experience Annotated Teacher's Edition with Texas Essential Elementsl

This edition is designed to be used both for planning and for actual in-class teaching. It offers planning aids and specific teaching suggestions for all selections. This material appears in the side columns next to the reduced student pages of each selection. These annotations which correspond to the student material on that page, help you give your students positive and relevant experiences with literature by asking the right questions a the right time and by pointing out what is significant. Each selection begins with notes that suggest ways to introduce or enhance the pre-reading instruction or activities presented in the students' guide for reading. These notes help you present the material or adapt it for less advanced or more advanced students. Objectives for each selection are keyed to the end-of-selection material. This page also includes a complete list of all other support material for this selection in the Teaching Portfolio. In the column next to the first page of the selection you will find a motivation for reading suggestion and a purpose-setting question to prepare the students to read. Frequently, thematic ideas are given. These suggest other selections in this book that treat themes similar to those under discussion. You may want to use these selections together to integrate and reinforce universal concepts and themes. All of these annotations help you effectively prepare your lesson. The selections are organized chronologically to present the literature of the United States in a historical context.
