Open your students’ minds to the vast possibilities of themes and theory in literature.
One of the most exciting parts of teaching literary themes and theory is seeing your students analyze a work of literature from a new perspective.
Each Prestwick House Multiple Critical Perspectives guide introduces your students to three critical theories and provides activities to examine the work you are studying from each perspective—a perfect format to help students at any level think about what they are reading in new and interesting ways.
