Sundance Choice: Literature

The first literature database created for the introduction to literature market, Wadsworth's "Sundance Choice Literature" is a print on demand solution that allows you to easily build your own text and corresponding technology program. With a growing library that includes the classic pieces that your students study, "Sundance Choice" offers a less expensive and less bulky alternative to the traditional anthology. Edited by a well-known author, Joe Trimmer, each selection contains a headnote of biographical information. To help you contextualize the teaching of writing in your course, there are seven full chapters on writing and research including ones on documenting sources and a handbook. Chapters can be supplemented with as much of your own material as you'd like, including handouts, paper assignments, student papers, or any other course materials. Two CD-ROMs - "Poetry21" and "Lit21" - designed specifically for literature courses, provide every student with audio recordings of poetry, engaging video, instruction in the elements of literature, and The Explicator - Wadsworth's close-reading tool that helps students create notes for their explication or analysis papers, and generate notes on supporting evidence from the texts for their other papers. There are two easy ways to look through the available literature in "The Sundance Choice" database and order your anthology. Wadsworth provides a sampler with the entire list of selections, sample readings and apparatus, and an easy to FAX order form. Contact your Cengage Learning representative for your copy. Wadsworth is a part of Cengage Learning.
