The value of a teaching package lies in how its components work together. Reading stages, selected key passages, tasks and feedback draw on shared learning objectives and a clearly identified version of the text.
For your planning, this provides a fully developed pathway through the work. The choice of suitable areas of focus and support remains yours to make for your particular class.
The reading edition: getting to know the work
The reading edition presents the adapted work in contemporary English. It supports sustained reading and introduces students to the characters, plot and narrative style.
The classroom edition: examining passages together
The classroom edition contains the same literary text and the same footnotes. Line numbers make passages easier to locate and help students support their observations with precise textual evidence.
The teacher’s handbook: planning teaching around the work
The handbook guides you through each work. It connects learning objectives, reading stages and key passages with teaching suggestions, tasks, support and guidance on assessment.
The reading portfolio: recording and developing ideas
In the portfolio, students collect observations, develop interpretations and revise selected responses. Earlier work can be revisited later.
Checkpoints and the final product: making learning visible
Checkpoints provide insight into students’ understanding of selected passages. The final product brings observations and interpretations together. The materials relate to the objectives addressed in class.
The companion guide: the shared foundation of the series
The companion guide explains the subject-specific and pedagogical decisions behind «Literatur, die ankommt». It connects research with questions of text adaptation, literary learning and support for groups of learners with different needs.
While the handbook guides you through a particular work, the companion guide offers a broader perspective on the series. Its detailed explanations and practical examples go beyond the introduction provided on this website.
