The Farmer Boy Teacher Guide, Second Edition consists of lesson guidelines and answers for the 29 chapters of Farmer Boy. Each of these lessons contains reading notes, vocabulary work, comprehension questions, questions for discussion, and quotations. The Student Guide also features enrichment activities for the student. If you need more help on how to teach, our lesson plans provide 12-weeks of step-by-step instructions for your school day. You can also watch this Teaching Guidelines video, where we walk you through teaching Grammar School Literature with Memoria Press. Memoria Press literature guides seek to instruct students in observation and discernment. Contemplative reading is not a passive activity, but one that requires an active, discriminating mind trained to comprehend, examine, and connect. Students who have been taught to appreciate good literature will never be satisfied with poor-quality books. Our guides facilitate the deliberate, thoughtful attention that great books deserve. Essential Questions contemplate the major themes of the work. Reading Notes and Vocabulary prepare the student to read, Comprehension Questions help identify important content, and Discussion Questions direct contemplation of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful. Enrichment activities offer an opportunity for the introduction of literary devices, poetry study, further development of themes, and curricular connections.
