Norton enhanced eBook
Norton Ebooks offer an enhanced and active reading experience at a fraction of the cost of a print book. The annotation tool in Norton’s ebook reader helps facilitate close reading, allowing students to take notes, bookmark, search, and highlight. Instructors can even share their own notes with the class directly on the page. Norton Ebooks allow for offline reading and can be viewed on all computers and mobile devices.
Ebooks are available for both the pre-1865 and post-1865 volumes of the Full Edition of The Norton Anthology of American Literature.
Writing about American Literature eBook
Also available is the ebook for Writing about American Literature, an accessible, step-by-step guide to writing about literature, from active reading to final revisions. Sections devoted to reading analytically and interrogating sources provide students with an essential foundation. Tips on reading critically and creatively, generating ideas, narrowing a topic, constructing a thesis, structuring an argument, and revising lead students through the entire arc of the writing process.
Close Reading Workshops
Based on an innovative and proven approach to close reading developed at the University of Texas at Austin, these workshops help students paraphrase, observe, contextualise, analyse, and create an argument based on close reading of a short excerpt. Each of the more than 20 workshops focuses on a passage from an often-taught work in the anthology and includes a series of guided writing prompts. Auto-graded at 100% for completion (with the ability for instructors to change students’ scores if they so choose), the workshops provide students with valuable low-stakes writing practice. LMS integration also allows grades for the workshops to report directly to an LMS gradebook.
InQuizitive
New to the Tenth Edition, InQuizitive for The Norton Anthology of American Literature is an auto-graded, easy-to-use online learning tool that motivates students to dig into the reading with greater focus and confidence. A variety of interactive question types that go beyond basic multiple choice are designed to keep students engaged, and answer-specific feedback models close reading and promotes scaffolded learning from comprehension to analysis. Page references are included with each question and drive students back into the anthology. Embedded in InQuizitive questions are also new videos featuring the anthology editors that bring the key insights of their respective period introductions to life.
