Texts


Each year a new text is included in the Great World Texts project. On this page, you will find background materials for educators (such as critical essays and historical documents), resources for classroom activities (such as maps, photographs, paintings, poems, primary source materials, music), and a Teacher's Guide, which offers ideas for exercises and assignments incorporating these materials. The resources for each text are password protected.
