Description: Prentice Hall Literature Portfolio incorporates the best of short fiction, poetry, and drama into one compact text. The text is organized around the guiding principle that reading and writing are complementary skills that need to be taught together. In addition, reading and writing coverage are integrated throughout the book to reinforce their importance in every les- son. All of the selections are organized by genre, and then sub-organized into broader chronological periods to provide readers with an understand- ing of the features that define each genre and to illustrate how they have developed over time.

Prentice Hal/ Literature Portfolio also includes sections dedicated to read- ing and writing about literature. These chapters address a wide array of subjects including:
• Discussion of reading and writing about literature in the three genres and across genres including comparison. 
• Comprehensive discussions of the writing process, literary research, and documentation. 
• Suggestions for thematic combinations, paired readings for select authors, and headnotes that provide literary hooks to help engage students. 
Genre-specific writing problems.
