Approaching Literature by Peter Schakel; Jack Ridl - Fourth Edition, 2017 from Macmillan Student Store

A diverse collection for reading, thinking, and writing about literature.

Approaching Literature is a text and anthology designed to engage even reluctant students in the rewarding process of reading, thinking, and writing about literature. Peter Schakel and Jack Ridl aim to use diverse, contemporary literary works as entry points to understanding and appreciating literary classics, and to make the instruction in reading and writing welcoming and accessible to all students, not just potential English majors. With its affordable price as well as its streamlined and supportive approach to reading, thinking, and writing about literature, all students will find something in Approaching Literature that helps them find common ground with the voices of our literary present and past.

Features

A diverse array of literary works
The 46 stories, 100 poems, 10 plays, and 2 essays offer a captivating blend of highly teachable contemporary works and a well-chosen selection of literary classics, along with a collection of very short works for each genre that can be read and examined in a single class period. Stimulating connections between the literature of the past and present are highlighted through thematic writing assignments.

An emphasis on active reading and critical thinking
Clear, non-technical explanations of literary elements and innovative features such as boxed checklists, tips, and sample student annotated readings introduce even the most inexperienced students into the pleasures of reading literary works. Throughout the book, pre- and post-selection prompts give students ways to think critically about the work and apply the active reading techniques they have learned.

A student-friendly approach to writing about literature
A total of five chapters are devoted to leading students in a unified, cumulative, step-by-step way through the writing process. From finding a topic and developing a well-supported argument to writing a research paper or an essay exam, each step of the writing process is accompanied by comments from real students discussing their writing experiences along with five student essays

New to This Edition

Continued emphasis on inclusiveness in 45 new selections.
1 new essay, 15 new stories, 25 new poems, and 4 new plays include contemporary works by writers such as: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Marjane Satrapi (fiction), Billy Collins and Honorée Fannone Jeffers (poetry), and Deanna Alisa Ablesera and Suzanne Bradbeer (drama). Also included are new selections from canonical writers, including works by: Ray Bradbury and Margaret Atwood (fiction), William Butler Yeats and William Wordsworth (poetry), and Sophocles and William Shakespeare (drama).

Streamlined instructional chapters designed to be taught in one class session
The treatment of the literary elements and forms has been broken into shorter more singularly-focused chapters that can easily be taught in a single class period, making the instructional chapters more accessible and readable for today’s busy students.

More ways to teach and connect the works
Following the regular table of contents, a new thematic table of contents includes tipped pages for easy access and suggests ways to teach and think about works across genre and form.

Updated and more accessible coverage of the research process
The discussion of writing a literary research paper in Chapter 3 has been fully updated to reflect current sources, citation models, and practices (based on the eighth edition, 2016, of the MLA Handbook). A new student writer’s research process is fully documented and annotated along with her final paper on Robert Frost’s poem "After Apple-Picking."
"I want a text that includes work by writers who look and sound like my students — who come from the places they know — as well as those whose experiences are very different from theirs. Approaching Literature allows my students to explore ‘difference.’"
-Cindy Kin, University of North Texas at Dallas

"The anthology offers our students wide exposure to both classic and modern literature with choices that include a wide range of genres and topics. The instructional parts of the text speak to the students using a tone that is lively and inclusive, making them feel that literature is valuable and accessible to all."
-Lynda Dekens, Lethbridge College

"Tailoring readings to meet the needs of academic rigor, philosophical challenge, critical thinking, developing empathy, and improving self-direction, and doing so in a way that makes learning both active and engaging within the constrictions of life’s demands, is a challenge that I think this text meets head on."
-Peter Scheponik, Montgomery County Community College
