World Literature Lessons

 “The only purpose of education is freedom; the only method is experience.”  Leo Tolstoy

A NOTE on Lessons: The plan now is to make these Main Lesson Pages a jumping off point - each lesson will have it's own link.  If you are a Registered User,you will, in addition to the handouts and descriptions, be able to hear audio of the lessons being used, and in some cases video as well - though this feature is far down the line in terms of implementation.  In any case, handouts and their descriptors will be public.
