Lightning Lit & Comp: World Lit I Africa and Asia 2nd Edition

by Brenda S. Cox

New Second 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 the following ; Chinua Achebe ( Things Fall Apart) ; African poetry (poems selected from This Same Sky) ; Kazuo Ishiguro ( An Artist of the Floating World) ; Poetry of the Far East (poems selected from This Same Sky) ; Naguib Mahfouz ( Fountain and Tomb) ; Middle Eastern poetry (poems selected from This Same Sky) ; An autobiography of a Third-World national, to be chosen and obtained by the student, from a list of recommendations in the Guide ; Poetry as Life Stories (poems selected from This Same Sky) Free Teacher's Guide is included with answers and schedules.
