However, Steinbeck’s works are featured regularly in international curricula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thinking Literature series is designed as a resource to help students approach novels in a structured and logical manner. Using Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, students are presented with a sequence of exercises and activities which begin with events and characters and progressively become more demanding. Teachers may pull pages and ideas from the series to complement their own programmes. The activities may be used for individual, home, group or whole-of-class work. Because the sections are broadly similar throughout the series, similar lines of enquiry may be embarked upon across several novels by an author, or even used to make comparisons with other writers. Broadly, students will begin by remembering details and end by developing and expressing their own ideas. The structure of the series also means that there is plenty of work for younger readers, as well as more advanced students. Never far away is the intention to foster a sense of enjoyment in Steinbeck’s work and appreciation of his genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe four books in this Series are are all based on the works of John Steinbeck and are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.otb.ie\/teachers-educationalists\/curriculum-subjects\/english\/thinking-literature-of-mice-and-men-using-higher-order-thinking-skills-detail?Itemid=0\"\u003eOf Mice and Men\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.otb.ie\/new\/thinking-literature-the-catcher-in-the-rye-using-higher-order-thinking-skills-detail?Itemid=0\"\u003eCatcher in the Rye\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.otb.ie\/teachers-educationalists\/curriculum-subjects\/english\/thinking-literature-the-grapes-of-wrath-using-higher-order-thinking-skills-detail?Itemid=0\"\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.otb.ie\/teachers-educationalists\/curriculum-subjects\/english\/thinking-literature-the-pearl-using-higher-order-thinking-skills-detail?Itemid=0\"\u003eThe Pearl\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJeff Š majored in English and history and is a quali ‰fied teacher with some thirty years of experience at primary, secondary and tertiary levels. He is the author of a children’s novel, has edited a variety of educational texts and now works as a feature writer for a major newspaper. As an alternative to a random approach he sees Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy as being extremely useful in structuring activities and questions in texts, so that there is a natural and logical progression – therefore a better and more satisfying understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Extent: 4 Photocopiable Resource Books - approximately 60 Pages per book]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Author: Jeff Lilly]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Age Suitability: 12+]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[Published: 2010]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[CODE: UF-669]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Outside The Box","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51273236480283,"sku":"UF-669","price":68.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/4363\/4203\/files\/thinking-literature-using-higher-order-thinking-skills-set-2976408.jpg?v=1781793130","url":"https:\/\/abcschoolsupplies.co.uk\/products\/thinking-literature-using-higher-order-thinking-skills-set","provider":"ABC School Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
