Literature of Language Arts: Second Course (California Edition)
by Holt Rinehart WinstonThis is a book with a big idea--that you are going to learn a lot about your language. This book came together because of the efforts of lots of people--writers, editors, artists, teachers, and even students like you. The chapters in Part 1 begin with an essay that explains the key standards you'll be mastering in the chapter. Then you'll read several literary selections. Following almost every literary selection, you will find some interesting readings, called informational texts. These might be newspaper or magazine articles, Web pages, instructional manuals, interviews, signs, maps, or other documents. All of these informational texts relate to the piece of literature. For example, after the story "In Trouble," about Gary Paulsen's experiences with sled dogs, you'll find an informational article about some of the breeds of dogs used to pull sleds. Along the way you'll find a lot of help in acquiring new words.
