| Summary |
"As educators, parents, and politicians continuously search for ways to rebuild our youths' values, a book like this is key to developing character strength. Building Character through Literature is a literary guide for parents and educators who have embraced the concept of character education. To illustrate these ideas, each chapter summarizes the characters, setting, and plot of selected classics such as The Secret Garden, A Wrinkle in Time, and Animal Farm, as well as newly applauded fiction like Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone. The titles are arranged in alphabetical order and each entry lists awards, author information, and notable vocabulary. Readers will also find stimulating discussion questions and helpful project suggestions."--BOOK JACKET |
