Excellent enrichment/supplemental material for grades 9-12 study of world lit

This unique workbook is divided into 11 sections which explore the literary uniqueness of a wide range of world cultures--Hebrew,Indian, and Islamic literature; Chinese literature; Japanese literature; Ancient Greek and Roman literature; Italian literature; French literature; German and Eastern European literature; Russian literature; Spanish and Latin American literature; Scandinavian literature; and African literature. Each section includes a list of skills addressed in the unit, notes for the teacher (including answers when appropriate), individual and group projects, a map of the geographical area, a vocabulary list, a chronology, activities which require analysis of key historical literary documents and connections with cultural traditions and beliefs, and a variety of creative written responses. It does an especially good job in establishing an understanding of religious and philosophical belief systems, historical events and cultural movements that helped to shape the themes and styles of world literature during different historical periods. Very useful in helping students understand historical/literary connections.
