THE TEACHER PACKET FOR THE 12TH-GRADE ENGLISH PROGRAM OF THE NEBRASKA CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT CENTER COMPRISES, THROUGH THE STUDY OF SELECTED WORKS, A SURVEY OF ENGLISH LITERARY PERIODS FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO THE 20TH CENTURY. UNITS ARE PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS--(1) "SENECAN REVENGE TRAGEDY--'THYESTES,''THE SPANISH TRAGEDY,' AND 'HAMLET,'" (2) "THE CHRISTIAN EPIC--'THE FAERIE QUEENE,' BOOK I, AND 'PARADISE LOST,'" (3) "THE NEW ENLIGHTENMENT WORLD, AUGUSTAN SATIRE," (4) "THE ROMANTIC REVOLUTION--ODE, SONNET, ALLEGORICAL ROMANCE," AND (5) "THE CLASS SYSTEM, THREE 19TH-CENTURY VIEWS." THE UNIT THEMES EVOLVE FROM MAN'S VIEW OF THE WORLD--HIS RELATIONSHIP TO NATURE, TO SOCIETY, AND TO MORAL LAW. FURTHERMORE, MATERIALS STUDIED IN PREVIOUS PACKETS ARE ASSUMED TO BE PART OF THE STUDENTS' AND TEACHER'S BACKGROUND, SO THAT THE UNIT ON "THE CHRISTIAN EPIC," FOR EXAMPLE, RELIES ON KNOWLEDGE OF THE EPIC GENRE STUDIED EARLIER. INCLUDED IN THE PACKET ARE INTRODUCTIONS AND AIDS TO UNIT MATERIALS, BIBLIOGRAPHIES FOR TEACHERS, SUPPLEMENTARY STUDENT READING LISTS, AND SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHING PROCEDURES AND AUDIOVISUAL AIDS. THE LANGUAGE AND COMPOSITION UNITS FOR THE TEACHER PACKET, EMPHASIZING THE RHETORIC OF PARAGRAPHS, THEMES, AND DEDUCTION, ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS MANUAL IS AVAILABLE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA CURRICULUM CENTER, 231 ANDREWS HALL, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA 68508. THE RELATED STUDENT PACKET FOR GRADE 12 IS TE 000 070 . (DL)
