The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
Teacher Guide The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander Questions for Socratic Discussion by Melanie Huff © 2012, The Center for Literary Education 3350 Beck Road Rice, WA 99167 (509) 738-2837 www.centerforlit.com Contents Introduction 2 Questions about Structure: Setting 4 Questions about Structure: Characters 6 Questions about Structure: Conflict and Plot 11 Questions about Structure: Theme 14 Questions about Style 16 Questions about Context 18 Suggested Essay Assignments 19 Story Charts 20 Introduction This teacher guide is intended to assist the teacher or parent in conducting meaningful discussions of literature in the classroom or home school. Questions and answers follow the pattern presented in Teaching the Classics, the Center for Literary Education’s two day literature seminar. Though the concepts underlying this approach to literary analysis are explained in detail in that seminar, the following brief summary presents the basic principles upon which this guide is based. The Teaching the Classics approach to literary analysis and interpretation is built around three unique ideas which, when combined, produce a powerful instrument for understanding and teaching literature: First: All works of fiction share the same basic elements — Context, Structure, and Style. A literature lesson that helps the student identify these elements in a story prepares him for meaningful discussion of the story’s themes. Context encompasses all of the details of time and place surrounding the writing of a story, including the personal life of the author as well as historical events that shaped the author’s world. Structure includes the essential building blocks that make up a story, and that all stories have in common: Conflict, Plot (which includes exposition, rising action, climax, denouement, and conclusion), Setting, Characters and Theme. -
