Because World Literature is sometimes taught at grade 10, schools have asked how many world literature selections are included in the grade 10 Mirrors & Windows Level V literature text. We developed our grade 10 book with a strong global perspective and it includes over 20% world lit selections (30 out of 144 selections). In comparison to other literature programs, Mirrors & Windows includes significantly more world literature selections at this level.For example, in Unit 1 Fiction, the following authors from around the world offer their perspectives:
Doris Lessing - Persia/Africa
Hernando Tellez - Columbia
Nadine Gordimer - South Africa
Guy de Maupassant - France
Hwang Sun won - Korea
Khaled Hosseini - Afghanistan
Chinua Achebe - Nigeria
Italo Calvino - Cuba
R.K. Narayan - India
Just take a look a the grade 10 table of contents--this is characteristic of the world lit representation throughout the book. http://www.emcp.com/product_catalog/index.php?GroupID=2886
At all levels, the Mirrors & Windows program offers a diverse variety of classical and contemporary literature to help students reflect on themselves and their world and to connect that understanding to people from around the world.
