What is Raymond Carver in the Classroom: "A Small, Good Thing" (THE NCTE High School Literature Series) about?

Rubenstein offers specific, classroom-tested strategies for teaching Raymond Carver's short stories and poems in the high school English classroom. Featuring biographical information, detailed discussion of specific short stories and poems, critical analysis, and innovative activities for teaching literature and writing, Raymond Carver in the A Small, Good Thing takes you into the world and work of Raymond Carver, the father of minimalism. Carvers writing presents an honest and moving portrayal of modern American life, with a focus on a blue-collar culture. With his straightforward, stripped-down style, Carver reaches readers of all levels, and his writing inspires thoughtful reflection on what it means to be a human being in contemporary times. This fourth volume in the NCTE High School Literature Series includes an array of activities and assignments that promote powerful student writing, allowing you to encourage visual learners by pairing Carvers poetry and fiction with the study of the works of artists such as Edward Hopper and Maya Lin; help students discover a unique approach to revision by studying Carvers own writing process; demystify poetry by having students read Carver
