This book takes care of just about everything. I think it is a rich resource and it will provide a ready-made curriculum for the course. It organizes and illustrates a broad array of texts and focuses on skills and habits of mind.

When I read this, its as through Im looking at an ideal way of thinking about the way to choose balanced selections for any unit. There is a balance of classic to contemporary pieces, a balance of voices, and certainly the inclusion of all the visual pieces, as well as the speeches and non-fiction make this a prize!

Because I am a huge proponent of inquiry-based instruction, I would say this books biggest strength is that it incorporates this method of learning. A second strength would be that this book uses both familiar and new texts and authors to balance the skills between addressing needs for both literature and language. I especially like that these skills are grouped in the two conversations, preceded and followed by the Reader and Writers Workshops. Brilliant structure!

AP teachers know the roots of AP success are established in the earlier grades. That is the idea behind Foundations of Language & Literature, a complete program for 9th Grade Pre-AP that establishes foundational skills, while challenging bright young minds.
The book is driven by the expertise of Rene Shea, John Golden, and Tracy Scholz who know that skills like reading, writing, and working with sources need careful development and constant reinforcement. This genre and mode-based book approaches the course in new ways, investigating nonfiction as well as literature, delving into fascinating argument-driven thematic units, and asking students to write in the genres, to empower them to read like a writer.
With the publication of Foundations of Language and Literature, BFW now offers a unified program of Pre-AP and AP English textbooks from grades 9 through 12, that guides students from introduction to mastery with a consistent tone and treatment of key AP topics.
In the first four chapters of Foundations of Language & Literature, students are taught skills essential for communication in the classroom and the world: discussing ideas civilly, listening actively, writing clearly and with an authentic voice, reading actively and critically, and using and acknowledging sources. These skills are practiced frequently, in low-risk formative activities threaded throughout the chapters.
Chapter 1: Starting the Conversation focuses on civil discourse in the classroom; developing an academic voice; listening actively; asking questions to clarify, build upon, or challenge an idea; and reaching consensus. This chapter also covers techniques for classroom presentations and public speaking.
Chapter 2: Writing asks students to consider how their voices might change to suit a particular subject, purpose, audience, and occasion. Those changes in voice are created through playing with word choice, altering sentence structure and punctuation, and recognizing the effects. Finally, students work on creating a clear and unified paragraph.
Chapter 3: Reading asks students to explore three different types of reading: Reading for Understanding, Reading for Interpretation, and Reading for Style. Students get in-context practice in skills essential to each type of reading, such as annotation, summary, finding the main idea, and analyzing themes. This chapter also walks students through techniques for overcoming reading challenges, such as difficult words, lack of context, complex sentence structures, and unfamiliar word order.
Chapter 4: Using Sources is an introduction to finding and using evidence. The chapter focuses heavily on reading critically in order to assess credibility and bias, especially of online sources. The chapter then walks students through the key moves of evidence based writing: navigating a range of ideas, integrating quotations, acknowledging sources, and avoiding plagiarism.
To help 9th graders engage with real ideas and wrestle with complex issues, Foundations of Language & Literature embeds a thematic Conversation of texts in each genre/mode chapter, extending out from an issue in the Central Text. These compact synthesis clusters deepen the teaching of the Central Text, and encourage lively and authentic discussion, thinking, and writing. For example:
In Chapter 11, Mythology, after reading The Odyssey, students read and respond to a group of texts on the question of "What makes a hero?" Differentiated Texts for Targeted Instruction
Workshop 2: Writing in the Genre has students draw on the essential elements from Workshop 1 in order to compose a poem, an argument, a narrative, etc. and come to appreciate the choices that go into any text.
Workshop 3: Analyzing the Genre guides students step-by-step through the process of creating compelling evidence-based analyses, clarifying the expectations and conventions of such assignments. Seeing Connections - Deepening Student Thinking
Seeing Connections boxes accompany readings throughout the book. These boxes juxtapose brief texts or visuals with the main reading, offering information that supports, challenges, qualifies, or extends an idea in the main text. Seeing Connections challenge students to think critically and creatively.
Every visual text in Foundations of Language & Literature serves a clear, authentic pedagogical purpose. Images were carefully selected to inform the reading of a print text, suggest new ideas, provide additional context, extend an understanding to the real world, or allow students to make interesting connections.
For those students who need a refresher, Foundations of Language & Literature contains brief, active grammar workshops that take students from basic understanding, to identification, to application in context, and ultimately back into their own writing to revise.
Additional tools for teaching with the text can be found on the Teachers Resource Flash Drive, and embedded at point-of-use in the Teachers Edition e-Book. Resources include suggested responses to text questions, additional assessment texts, classroom strategies and how-tos, vocabulary support, key passages for annotation, and additional audio/video/documents.
