Rose’s Guide: elementary literature

April 7th, 2005 at 8:24 am. Posted in Rose's Guide.

Rosalie Slater has written this part. The steps for reading this section are only my suggestions.
Of course you must begin at the beginning, which is forming your philosophy of literature (p. 329).

  1. The Seven Loves of Literature on p. 330 is a favorite of mine. It’s very inspiring.
    The “soil softeners” article on p. 380 is great reading which discusses the inportance of instilling the idea that internal actions have external consequences. This can be accomplished through literature.
  2. The overview details are the first of the real “nuts and bolts” of your lesson planning (p. 333-342).
  3. The chart on p. 531 gives the overview for K-6 literature with suggestions for learning the literature of the Bible, rhymes, poems, stories, highlighting individuality of nations, history as literature and notebook studies.
  4. Next you need to start with the Bible as the highest form of literature and how to study it. (p. 379)
  5. Pages 382-389 discuss many forms forms of literature and how to incorporate them in your studies. These are helpful when looking at the overview.
  6. Then read through America’s European Heritage of Liberty on p. 5352. This will take you through several classics that FACE also features: Pinocchio (Italy), Heidi (Switzerland) and Joan of Arc (France) among others. Then she gives you an example of teacher preparation for Hans Brinker (p. 355) so you can see her suggestions.
  7. She then covers classics that feature America’s Christian history and character. read through the “Teaching American Character Through Literature” section that starts on p. 364, reading only the key classic to be taught (refer to it for each classic you choose to cover. He offers one for each year K-6.).
  8. Page 378 has a blank chart you can copy and fill in to plan your lessons or you can create one like it on your computer.

She concludes with her autobiographical essay that is quite interesting . This is quite comprehensive for creating your own plans to enjoy with your children.
