Rubenstein offers specific, classroom-tested strategies for teaching Raymond Carver's short stories and poems in the high school English classroom. Featuring biographical information, detailed discussion of specific short stories and poems, critical analysis, and innovative activities for teaching literature and writing, Raymond Carver in the Classroom: "A Small, Good Thing" takes you into the world and work of Raymond Carver, the "father of minimalism." Carver's writing presents an honest and moving portrayal of modern American life, with a focus on a blue-collar culture. With his straightforward, stripped-down style, Carver reaches readers of all levels, and his writing inspires thoughtful reflection on what it means to be a human being in contemporary times. This fourth volume in the NCTE High School Literature Series includes an array of activities and assignments that promote powerful student writing, allowing you to encourage visual learners by pairing Carver's poetry and fiction with the study of the works of artists such as Edward Hopper and Maya Lin; help students discover a unique approach to revision by studying Carver's own writing process; demystify poetry by having students read Carver's and write their own, including catalog poems and "LISTEN to Me" poems modeled after Carver's; explore point of view by examining what happens when Carver and his wife, poet and fiction writer Tess Gallagher, tell the same tale from two very different viewpoints; design Fact to Fiction projects that incorporate both memoir and fiction writing and that allow students to collaborate within and between classrooms; develop students' critical thinking skills by having them write reviews of Carver's work; and spur classroom discussion with critical commentary and freewriting. Whether you're new to the work of Raymond Carver or are looking for some fresh ideas for teaching his works, you'll find this concise, practical resource guide a welcome addition to your professional library.
