Studying a literary text from a variety of critical perspectives is a great way to open students' minds, help them find a personal connection to a work of literature, and kindle a lifelong passion for the works that you love to teach.
These ready-to-use, reproducible guides will help you introduce your students to literary theory, exposing them to the Feminist, Freudian, Archetypal, Marxist, Formalist, and New Historicist approaches.
Each unit introduces three of these approaches and provides activities to examine the work you are studying from each perspective.
Close reading exercises, classroom discussion opportunities, and thought-provoking writing assignments will inspire your students at any level to actively think about what they are reading in new and engaging ways.
This Multiple Critical Perspectives resource for The Catcher in the Rye comes with:
- Psychoanalytical/Freudian Theory;
- Feminist Theory; and
- Marxist Theory.
This is the reproducible booklet version of the Multiple Critical Perspectives pack.
