William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is one of the most revered and loved plays of all time.  The story of a young man who strives to avenge his father’s... death has been performed and read constantly ever since it first debuted at London’s Globe Theatre over four hundred years ago.  Madness, family, and revenge are only a handful of the universal themes found in this tale that still hold great meaning to us today.  Artist Tom Mandrake’s art combined with Steven Grant’s adaptation truly realizes the dark nature of this story.  Each character from Laertes to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is recreated in this adaptation in a truly unique form, making it a wonderful graphic novel for readers old and young alike.

CLASSICS IN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT is a brief collection of many of the most important readings in American government. This set of documents were written... by revolutionaries, presidents, U.S. Supreme Court judges, historians, political scientists, journalists, and politicians¿but all share the commonality of recognized importance. Each selection is generally acknowledged to be a major statement about some aspect of American government, hence their designation as "classics."

Classics in Environmental Studies provides the reader with a selection of the core texts, typically 10 pages, of the most important works in... environmental studies.

There can be but two real goals toward which we aim in teaching reading—or, more precisely, a single goal with two aspects: to teach children to read... well and to love to read. Arthur Gates (1890–1972) These two threads are the common theme that runs throughout the writings of past educators included in Classics in Literacy Education: Historical Perspectives for Today's Teachers. Excerpts from classic authors A. Sterl Artley, Emmett Betts, Richard de Bury, Arthur Gates, William S. Gray, Helen Robinson, David H. Russell, Nila Banton Smith, and George Spache touch on a variety of topics facing today's reading teachers. In addition to presenting selections of each writer's work, author Robinson provides an overview of the writer's professional life and includes a list of annotated resources for further reading. Each chapter ends with "Reflections" to stimulate teachers to think about the words of past educators, and reevaluate their own classroom instruction. Classics in Literacy Education shows all reading educators—specifically inservice teachers, preservice teachers, reading researchers, and those involved in reading teacher preparation—that the perspectives of classic writers in the history of reading instruction are important and relevant to their current practice. ©2002 | 152 pp | ISBN: 0-87207-174-X | 174-553 | General

Grades 9-12   Reading the classics isn't easy. Students often balk at the difficult syntax, unfamiliar settings, and descriptive passages. Length... alone keeps some books out of the curriculum. For a teacher to persist–sometimes coaxing, sometimes driving–requires an act of will. In Classics in the Classroom Carol Jago provides practical ideas for making these challenging texts come alive for contemporary students. Continuing in the tradition of her popular book With Rigor for All, Jago argues that all students, not just those enrolled in honors classes, deserve to read great literature. To make this happen requires artfully crafted lessons that address specific textual challenges. In Classics in the Classroom Jago shares her lesson plans and materials for teaching: vocabulary character study story grammar literary elements metaphorical thinking Jago also offers practical wisdom for helping all students learn and enjoy great literature. Simply assigning books is not enough. Teachers need an instructional plan that makes difficult texts accessible.   Also available: Classics in the Classroom Video (2004 / 30-minute video / 0325006873)
