Course Guide
Bruce Michelson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
This much-praised guide opens with detailed reading lists for a variety of approaches—the historical approach, the "major authors" approach, the literary traditions approach, the approach by genre or theme. Each author/work entry offers teaching suggestions and Discussion Questions. A chapter of sample essay topics and exam questions completes the guide.
New Web-CT/BlackBoard Coursepack
Suitable for traditional and distance learning courses, this useful tool offers quizzes on both period introductions and 60 widely taught individual works, period lecture outlines, image-based assignments, and more. These password-protected materials are available at the Norton Resource Library.
New Instructor DVD-ROM
This disc is designed for instructors to use in classroom presentations. Organized by period, it includes over 250 images and maps that may be incorporated into your own PowerPoint presentations or displayed as slideshows on a television or screen connected to a DVD player.
Free Video Offer
Instructors who adopt The Norton Anthology of American Literature have access to an extensive array of films and videos. In addition to videos of the plays by O’Neill, Williams, and Miller in the anthology, segments of the award-winning video series American Passages: A Literary Survey are available without charge on orders of specified quantities of the Norton Anthology. Funded by Annenberg/CPB, produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting, and developed with the Norton Anthology as its exclusive companion anthology, American Passages contains sixteen segments, each covering a literary period by exploring two or three authors in depth. Original interviews with writers and scholars, archival interviews, archival footage, still images, music, and reading by contemporary authors and by professional voice talent bring the work, its language, and its context to life. A rich website (www.learner.org/amerpass), instructor’s guide, and student guide are also available. For information about the videos, contact your local sales representative.
