Letters & Devotion Grade 11: American Voices, American Arguments: Literature and Rhetoric in Context (Part 2)

Description

“American Voices, American Arguments: Literature and Rhetoric in Context (Part 2)” (Grade 11, Units 5-8) is the second volume of the two-volume Letters & Devotion Grade 11 reading course “American Voices, American Arguments: Literature and Rhetoric in Context”, split into two physical books because the complete course runs longer than KDP’s page ceiling for this trim. This volume covers Units 5-8 (“Arguing With Sources: Synthesis Across Multiple Texts” through “The Research Argument: Building an Original Claim”), running 340 pages across 37 lessons (Reading: 37 lessons), with 276 practice-sheet problems and 74 mastery/unit-check items built directly into the book, plus a full answer key at the back. Every lesson is written for a parent with no teaching background: each one opens with a short script to read aloud, names the specific wrong idea a student is likely to reach for and how to correct it, and closes with a practice sheet that may be copied for household use. Passages, prompts, and writing tasks are original to this book, not excerpted from outside texts. This is a standalone, black-and-white, 340-page printable PDF at 8.5 x 11 in (print at home or at a copy shop); no login, subscription, or additional purchase is required to use it. The first volume, “American Voices, American Arguments: Literature and Rhetoric in Context (Part 1)” (Grade 11, Units 1-4), completes the year; the two are sold and used independently. (The same lessons are also taught aloud by Clara, a built-in AI teacher, at lettersanddevotion.com, with the first 30 days free, for families who want that option; the print book stands on its own without it.)
