Riassunto

This exciting literature anthology is the brainchild of a workshop at the University of Vermont during which literature professors discussed effective ways to teach reading and responding to the genres--fiction, poetry, drama, and the essay. Introductions to each genre are written by teams of workshop participants. In kind, the anthology stresses collaboration in both learning and writing. The selections are especially contemporary, with many pieces written from multi-cultural perspectives by multi-ethnic writers. ANGLES OF VISION is right for both the second semester of freshman composition and introduction to literature classes with an emphasis on writing.
