Learning Language Arts Through Literature: The Green Book (Teacher Book)

7th Grade, 3rd Edition

This program uses a fully integrated approach as it takes students through all the activities needed to learn grammar, diagramming, vocabulary, reading skills, poetry, short stories, Shakesphere, research, and higher-order reasoning. Thirteen of the lessons are based upon literature passages to be dictated to your student. Throughout the dictation lessons are a six-week poetry unit, a three-week short story unit, three different book study units, and a four week research unit. Nine assessments are distributed throughout the book to help you evaluate your student's progress.

The three books used for the studies are:

• The Star of Light by Patricia St. John
• The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
• Much Ado About Nothing - a play by William Shakespeare
