Description
The complete curriculum titled Foundations in Literature and History is a comprehensive language arts course that goes over literature, literary terms, grammar, writing, poetics, vocabulary building and spelling. The textbook anthology provides a wide variety of reading passages, including history, fairytales, the short story, myths, fables, allegory, and poetry. (Some of the works have been adapted for younger readers, such as the works by Shakespeare, Chaucer and Spenser.) The anthology and study guide (two volumes) were designed to hone particular reading skills through comprehension questions, such as making inferences, understanding the tone of a work, understanding paragraph development, and discovering the meaning of vocabulary through contextsÑall the skills necessary for being a good reader and successfully taking future standardized tests like the SAT. Authors include classic writers, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Lamb, Guy de Maupassant, Edmund Spenser, Isaac Watts, William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John Keats, George Gordon Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alfred Tennyson, Robert Browning, Christina Rossetti, Robert Burns, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Greenleaf Whittier, Livy, Herodotus, Xenophon, William Bradford, and others.
