This helpful, all-in-one instructor s resource contains a brief introduction for each chapter in the book. These introductions examine the literature examples, images, and film references to further explain how the featured pieces work within the element, as well as what other pieces in the book exemplify that element. It provides an expansion of the questions that are currently in the book, and how the piece would work with the Experiencing Literature through Writing Questions. A sample syllabi created by authors Bruce Beiderwell and Jeffrey Wheeler is also included. Finally, The Guide to Film, located in the Instructor s Manual, is an excellent resource for expanding the film coverage in THE LITERARY EXPERIENCE, ESSENTIAL EDITION.
