About this item

The adage says that there are two sides to every story, but as most contemporary literature teachers can attest, there are many sides to every story-or at least many ways of looking at a story. Prestwick House's Multiple Perspectives Lesson Guides provide the high school teacher with everything she needs to guide her students through the study of the titles she teaches from a variety of critical viewpoints. Every Multiple Perspectives Lesson Guide provides a general introduction to the work (plot summary, introductions to key characters, brief discussions of social and historical background) ; clear and concise explanations of three critical theories (including feminism, Marxism, Freudianism, new historicism, and formalism) ; and reading, writing, and discussion activities designed to help students probe the familiar text in new and deeper ways.
