A GUIDE FOR TEACHER USE WAS PREPARED FOR AN EIGHTH-GRADE LITERATURE CURRICULUM. THE SUGGESTED CURRICULUM WAS DESIGNED TO DEVELOP AN ANALYTICAL APPROACH TO LITERATURE WHICH WOULD APPEAL TO EIGHTH-GRADE STUDENTS. BACKGROUND DISCUSSIONS RELATED TO ANALYSIS OF PLOT, FORM, AND VIEWPOINT WERE PRESENTED. EXPLANATIONS, STUDY QUESTIONS, AND SUGGESTED ACTIVITIES (GRADED LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY) WERE INCLUDED FOR UNITS ON LITERATURE REORIENTATION, TRAVEL LITERATURE, AND NARRATIVE POETRY. AN ACCOMPANYING GUIDE WAS PREPARED FOR STUDENT USE (ED 010 141). (WN)
