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.

*Please note, literary works can be accessed from the public domain thru links provided within the curriculum.

*For those who like to be able to do offline learning, Essentials in Writing is offering DVDs that can be purchased separately here. They include all online videos. This is an add-on for the EIL Level 11 online course.

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.
