Literature
Overview for 2010
A
literature selection is usually considered to be a work of fiction.
But you are welcome to choose books from other categories as your
own choice literature selections. You can choose from works of
non-fiction, self-help, gospel related etc.... as long as they are
different books from the ones you are reading in other subject areas
this year. However, it is highly recommended you choose works of
fiction.
----------------
Keep
a notebook.
The notebook can be used for thoughts and impressions, summaries,
quotes,
and more.
“It
is very
helpful to read with a commonplace book or reading-diary, in which to
put
down any striking thought in your author, or your own impression of the
work, or of any part of it; but not summaries of facts. Such a diary,
carefully
kept through life, should be exceedingly interesting as containing the
intellectual history of the writer; besides, we never forget the book
that
we have made extracts from, and of which we have taken the trouble to
write
a short review.”
--
Charlotte Mason (V, 260.)
