Summative assignment for Unit 1:
Working in groups of 4, students will complete a literary review of an assigned literary anthology. Using all four approaches to literary criticism, students will assess the suitability of one anthology designed for use within Ontario Secondary Schools. Students will be responsible for i) conducting close readings of several selected stories from their particular critical point of view, ii) providing a judgment as to the suitability of this anthology for use within the Ontario curriculum, and iii) providing suggestions to the publisher for modifications, deletions and additions to the anthology to bring it into line with goals for adolescent development within the secondary panel.

This directory is an index of indexes. It contains pointers to individual author guides or other cumulative documents that deal with specific writers. Admittedly, most of these authors are "literary." I have not included many authors from genres such as science fiction or romance.
