Evangeline with Notes and Plan of Study

Excerpt

This Plan for the study of “Evangeline” is the outgrowth of several years’
teaching of this delightful poem.  It has proved successful in securing very
satisfactory work from classes varying greatly in ability.  It has resulted,
in a considerable majority of cases, in (1) in awakening an interest in and
a love for good literature; (2) opening up the field of literature in a
new way, and showing that much wealth may be gotten by digging below
the surface; (3) developing a considerable power of discrimination; (4)
enlarging the pupil’s working vocabulary.  See “Argument” on page 113.
