Ten lessons break down Wise Blood into digestible and absorbable segments. Each lesson allows students to question what is going on in the work and to find their own discoveries without detracting from the art and mystery that permeates the novel. Students begin their study with research on Flannery O'Connor's life and the time in which she lived, then participate in large- and small-group discussion, research, brainstorm, journal about readings, and imitate O'Connor's style. Grades 9-12. (CFL643)
