In Search of Ernest Hemingway: A Model for Teaching a LiteratureSeminar

Intended for use every day for a semester, this secondary seminar handbook provides a schedule, lesson plans, materials for classroom distribution, and a bibliography for a course designed to teach critical reading and basic writing skills through an in-depth study of Ernest Hemingway. Because the course requires that students write seven position papers that combine biographical information about Hemingway with analyses of individual examples of his writing, the handbook outlines the procedures involved in writing each paper and offers models that can be used as examples for the students in writing their own papers. The handbook also describes the process for "Defense Day," an activity that is integral to the seminar, and suggests ways that the teaching methods might be adapted to other authors and their works. Among the items included in the appendixes are an outline of the life and times of Ernest Hemingway and seven anecdotes from Hemingway biographies. (Mai).
