Alpha Literature | Student Anthology

 

STUDENT ANTHOLOGY

The Literature Selections features award-winning authors from around the world with a vast array of classic and contemporary literature in a variety of genres illustrated with visually appealing photography, artworks, and images of fine art. The stand-alone and paired text selections in each unit give students multiple opportunities for in-depth literary analysis.

Featured in Every Selection:


  • Background and Close Reading Focus to prepare students to engage with the literature by presenting information about the selection and its author and provide the standards-based focus for close reading.
  • Close Reading Questions deepen students’ interaction with the text by requiring them to cite specific textual details to support their literary analysis.
  • Critical Viewing Questions encourage students to apply critical thinking skills as they analyze selection visuals.
  • Discussion activities introduce thought-provoking questions that extend beyond the literature. Students share their insights and ideas in paired, small group, or class discussions.
  • Critical Reading question bank presents higher-order thinking questions that require students to go beyond basic recall and comprehension to analyze, interpret, and evaluate the literature.
