The Classics Club: The Yearling
Marjorie Rawlings' Pulitzer prize winner has never failed to touch the
heart with its powerful depiction of a boy's coming of age. Full
of symbolism and imagery, The Yearling is as beautiful a
treatment of this theme as there is in English. Adam's discussion
deals with all the major elements of fiction in turn without losing
sight of the breathtaking artistry of the novel. "This is one of
the best classes I've ever taught!" he says.
The Classics Club: The Yearling is a stand-alone literature class for students in grades 4 through 10 and beyond. It also provides the perfect refresher for parents and teachers preparing to give classes of their own.
A syllabus notebook (available below) provides a place for the student or teacher to make notes and also includes a biographical sketch of the author, as well as a blank story chart and suggestions for essay assignments drawn from the class discussion.
