Filled with creative teaching suggestions, the Guide to The Norton Reader provides instructors with supportive material for teaching each essay in the collection, including an introduction to the essay and author; a discussion of form and content, rhetoric and style; ideas for writing assignments; and several sample syllabi. The syllabi suggest ways of using The Norton Reader in courses focusing on great ideas and enduring questions; writing across the curriculum; race, class, and gender; and persuasion and argument; and in courses taking a collaborative approach to reading and writing.
