Summary Note "'A literature companion for teachers' (2nd ed.) continues to be an essential reference for teachers K-8 in their role as the interpretative authorities on literary texts. It is both a revision and an update and remains true to its purpose: a key reference to enhance practising and pre-service teachers' knowledge about how literature may be responded to, examined, interpreted, analysed, evaluated and created. This 'Companion' presents literary writing as both an 'art' and a 'craft' and explores aspects of the craft of the writer's artistry. Each chapter presents exemplars of quality literature, with many recent texts included in this edition. With the 2016 'Australian Curriculum: English v.8.3' as a starting point the book offers explanations, interpretations and examples for each of the four Literature strands." - Back cover.
