Illuminating Literature: When Worlds Collide Complete Bundle

Your teens will appreciate the unstuffy way Sharon Watson teaches literature. They’ll read some great novels, encounter the hero’s journey, learn literary terms and elements, and gain an appreciation for fine literature. More important, eager and reluctant readers will become more discerning as they learn the secret craft of the fiction writer. College-prep students and reluctant readers alike benefit from this engaging literature course. This is the first volume in a series. However, students may take this and the second volume Illuminating Literature: Characters in Crisis in any order. They are not sequential.
