Essentials in Literature is a literary analysis curriculum that features a student textbook/workbook combination with video instruction from teacher, Matthew Stephens, presented online over four units: fiction, nonfiction, novel, figurative language/poetry.

Literary analysis occurs across the curriculum by exploring short stories in the fiction unit. Short works of nonfiction such as excerpts from biographies and autobiographies as well as informative articles, propaganda techniques, and narrative nonfiction are analyzed in the nonfiction unit. Figurative language and poetry are explored in the final unit following a six week novel study.

Story Assessments (Independent Practice) provide comprehension and application practice through a variety of techniques including, but not limited to:  multiple choice, matching, long answer, tabled literary analysis application, and written response.

Literary works not included in the printed portion of this course can be accessed from the public domain thru links provided within the curriculum or on the publisher’s website.

Additional Purchase Options:

• If teaching more than one student, you will want to purchase an additional resource book per extra student as it is a consumable item.
• If your plans for the school year also include Essentials in Writing 11, then you can purchase these two courses together in the EIW’s English Bundle Level 11 and save a little money.

Parents’ Note: The Great Gatsby is a novel set in the 1920’s and portrays life in the upper class where parties were often and restraints were few. While the novel provides a commentary on society at this time there are situations here that some might find offensive or unpleasant.
