Teach students literary analysis before they get to College!
Using James Stobaugh's Handbook for Literary Analysis Volume 1, students will learn the important terms and concepts of literary analysis, as well as how to read with a Christian worldview. Covering allegory, characterization, narration, plot, & setting, students will work through examples taken from the Great Books and other important literature; they'll also get the chance to read real example essays by high school students. Each section is centered on a basic element of literary analysis; chapters include background information, a list of terms, a list of suggested literary works, and multiple excerpted selections from literature which highlight the section's focus.
