Digging into Literature: Strategies for Reading, Analysis, and Writing - EVALUATION COPY / INSTRUCTOR'S MANUAL

Digging into Literature reveals the critical strategies that any college student can use for reading, analyzing, and writing about literary texts. The authors' unique approach is based on groundbreaking studies of the successful interpretive and rhetorical moves of hundreds of professional and student essays. Full of practical charts and summaries-- with plenty of exercises and activities for trying out the strategies-- the book convincingly reveals that while great literature is complex, writing effective essays about it doesn't have to be. A Section in the back, after the index, entitled "Resources For Teaching," is available for the Instructor to aid in guiding students along in the book. Giving organizing tips to grading exercises, the 70+ pages will be a valuable asset to any instructor.
