Download or read book Readings in Literature Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Franklin B. Dyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Literature, Vol. 2 This collection of readings IN literature is designed as a basal Reader for the eighth grade of the Elementary School or the mid-year of the Junior High School. It has been prepared with the realization that this is a period of transition for most pupils from elementary to secondary education, and that the character of the literature is an important means of bridging the gap between the two. The high-school requirements in literature usually include Poetry, Essays, Biography, Oratory, Prose Fiction, Drama, and Scripture. It is the purpose of this Reader to acquaint pupils with these types of literary expression in their simplest and choicest forms, without taking the keen edge off the pupils' interest by anticipating the more difficult selections that will be read later. The book thus lays the foundations for high school English by presenting many kinds of poetry from Addison down through the recent World War by numerous biographical notes and sketches of statesmen and men of letters, and essays of humor and fancy; by many Simple examples of oratory from American and English statesmen, including some of the most recent; by short stories and tales from Irving, Poe, 0. Henry, and living writers; by a sketch of the life of Shakespeare, and three great scenes from Julius Caesar; Old Testament readings from the book of Daniel, the Psalms, and the book of Job.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in English Literature These readings are intended as the basis for a course in the historical development of English literature. They include representative works of the best writers, although the amount of space given to an author is not necessarily governed by his merit. Some authors Shakspere, for example can be studied to advantage only in complete works too long to be included in a volume like this. Then, too, a writer who rep resents a period or a movement may be relatively more impor tant than another whose absolute importance is greater.

Download or read book Readings from Literature Classic Reprint written by Reuben Post Halleck and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings From Literature Enjoyment of literature is a progressive art, gradually developed like other arts, hence these selections are not arranged in chronological order. They begin with a simple, humorous prose story and end with Milton's poetry. The taste for poetry is often an acquired one, but experience has taught the editors that by starting with the right selec tions a lasting love of poetry can be developed. Teachers should encourage pupils to memorize at least parts of the poems in this volume and to read all of them aloud. Former pupils have often taken the trouble to say to the editors that memorizing and reading aloud certain poems resulted in an increased liking for poetry. Matthew Arnold has truly said that we ought to have always in mind lines and expres sions from the great masters and apply them as a touchstone to other poetry. Such touchstones from the masters will be found in this volume. An endeavor is made to stress the social side of English, the side that appeals to everyday human needs and interests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings in Literature for Upper Grades Because of the importance of the subject of Residing in Elementary School curricula, much thought and attention have been given by prominent educators to devising methods whereby the beginner may be taught to master the printed page. The various methods invented and put into operation have resulted in rapid progress in the scientific manner of presenting and developing the beginnings of this art. In the lower grades, the advance that has been made in the teaching of reading is satisfactory from every standpoint. While the mechanical side of the art has been provided for, the content side has not been neglected. Unfortunately we cannot view with the same complacence the conditions that exist in connection with reading in the upper grades. There we are confronted with the two-fold problem, first, of continuing the process of aiding the pupils in the matter of oral expression, and second, of leading them to a real appreciation of the masterpieces of literature. No matter how excellent may be the results obtained in the mechanics of reading, unless the pupils are inspired with a love for good books, we have failed to accomplish the most important aim of the course. This double problem makes it necessary to select the reading matter for the upper grades with the greatest care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cambridge Readings in Literature These reading books have been prepared in the first instance for use among pupils of eleven or twelve and above, and are thus suitable for the middle forms of secondary schools, the four years of central and higher grade schools, the upper Standards of elementary schools and the literature courses of continuation schools. Admirable use is now made of what are called Continuous Readers; but these should not wholly supplant a miscellany, a collection of extracts good in themselves and representative of great or interesting writers. Reading in schools may take three forms - audible reading by individual pupils, silent reading by all members of a class and reading by the teacher to the class. These forms represent three grades of difficulty in matter. Pupils can appreciate poetry and prose well read to them which they could not themselves read aloud with intelligence. Some parts, therefore, of the available material should reach the third grade of difficulty. It must certainly not all be kept down to the level of a stumbler's precarious fluency. Litera ture Should be measured out to readers by their capacity to receive rather than by their ability to deliver.

Download or read book Southern Literary Readings Classic Reprint written by Leonidas Warren Payne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Literary Readings The critical apparatus at the back of the book Should be used judiciously, the teacher determining just what is best in individual cases. The use of this material should by no means be allowed to render the teaching of litera ture mechanical. That the literature itself is the main object should constantly be borne in mind. To read with clearness, accuracy, and expression the poems and stories and essays, and enjoy their intellectual, emotional, and esthetic qualities, is the highest desideratum. To over emphasize the letter is to deaden the spirit; but on the other hand, to neglect the letter is frequently to leave closed all avenues of approach to anything like an appreci ation of the production. The only effectual way of getting at the spirit of a literary production, particularly in the earlier stages of education, is through knowledge gained by attention to the letter. It is absolutely necessary, then, to study words, allusions, thought units and the general technical elements of literary construction. The child must be given as a basis of knowledge the details of literary values before he can properly perceive or estimate the spirit of literary art as a whole.

Download or read book American Literature Through Illustrative Readings Classic Reprint written by Sarah E. Simons and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Literature Through Illustrative Readings This volume is intended as a handbook for high-school students of American literature. The purpose of the book is to give a fair view of what has been done and is still being done in the domain of American letters, and to stimulate, through the illustrations, further reading in and appreciation of American authors. The work is by no means exhaustive, but it is believed that it is representative of the periods and the personalities in our literary development. A relatively large space has been given to living writers and recent literary activities because the high-school pupils interest is emphatically in the present-day author and his reading is chiefly from contemporary productions. Hence he needs direction and guidance in this field as much as anywhere. Moreover, through the study of the good modern writer, he may be drawn to the classic when he sees the dependence of the new writer on the old, when he realizes the modern authors appreciation of the great and the good in the achievement of earlier men. All work of a critical nature has been purposely omitted as outside the sphere of interest and comprehension of the high-school student. Even in the bibliographies no mention is made of books which are works of appraisal mainly. Further readings in the particular authors are indicated and reference is made to works which shed light on the period and on the environment of the author, for the sake of atmosphere and background.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Best Readings There is a further object which one may hope this book to accomplish: to supply to classes in literature a wide range of material, the appreciation of which may be tested through vocal interpretation. Teach ers of literature everywhere are recognizing the rela tion of vocal expression to literary interpretation. In the Introduction I have dwelt at some length upon this theme. It is, therefore, only necessary to say here that, if our students of literature are to read aloud, they must have literature appropriate to that purpose. The Excursion is true literature, Endymion is true literature; but they will not read aloud. Words worth's Michael is also real literature; and it will read aloud. The principle that has led me to omit the first two and insert the other has guided me through out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
