Windows to the world

Windows to the World provides a solid grounding in literary analysis—what to look for when we read a work of literature, the literary devices commonly used by authors and why they work well, and how authors succeed in conveying tone, theme, character, irony, point of view, and so forth.

It's inside of us all Not Rated. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Soundtracks Inside of Us All. User reviews 9 Review. Top review. It's a great idea for a film, but the result is really cheesy.

It feels like a cheap soap opera at times. It's hard to say much that's good about the film. The script, the acting, and the music are all poor apart from one or two of the actors. The main actor has one facial expression. Details Edit. Release date April 23, United States. United States. Upcal Entertainment Vicangelo Films. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 1 hour 47 minutes.

Pike also incorporates two novels and a play into the course, although using these is optional. In teaching this course herself, PIke realized that teachers or parents would benefit from additional planning information to present the lessons in Windows to the World. So in the syllabus, she clearly describes what handouts will be needed for each class session and where these are located.

She adds brief notes about the class time itself, most of which applies whether it's a group class or a single student. In addition, she specifies what to do with homework assignments. The syllabus has an appendix with some quizzes, answer keys, and some pages with small cards to be used for activities.

The reproducible student pages take up more than half of the syllabus. These pages include homework pages for every lesson, short stories, and a final exam. Elsewhere, she refers to "dress ups," another term from Structure and Style. There are only a few such instances, but those unfamiliar with Structure and Style will find them puzzling. A Syllabus for Introduction to Literary Analysis should be great for those who want to create a full-year course, since the additional elements provide enough course content.

If you choose to skip Teaching the Classics, using the novels still ensures sufficient course content. Putting together a complex course like this on your own might be daunting, but with Pike having done much of the work for you, it should be very manageable.
