Mosdos Press Literature Ruby

Ruby integrates language arts and literature with Lessons in Literature. These lessons precede each prose selection and teach a progression of language art skills that build, one on the other, in a manner geared specifically towards the fourth grader. Ruby includes works by Elizabeth Friedrich, Myron Uhlberg, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Carol Fisher Saller. The book is replete with short stories student, drama, poetry and nonfiction. Finally, Ruby presents a unique Mosdos Jill's Journal , a first-person narrative presumably written at the time of the prose selection. Fourth graders will enter the setting of the literary work, as if they were present at that time and place. 20 Short Stories 37 Poetry Selections 5 Nonfiction Essays 1 Drama Selection 3 Biographies Index of Authors & Titles Vocabulary Glossary Author Biographies 615 pages.
