- Summary:
-
The allegory and fantasy in Madeleine L'Engle's four novels: "A Wrinkle in Time,""A Wind in the Door,""A Swiftly Tilting Planet," and "Many Waters," make the books powerful means for addressing the violence pervasive in the lives of so many young people. These books are a valuable curriculum addition because of readers appreciation for them, their usefulness in integrating "character education," and as examples of literary techniques. Teaching ideas for these books include: (1) charting the conflicts; (2) identifying images or descriptions that signal conflict or violence; (3) discussing fantasy elements; (4) discussing allegory; and (5) encouraging students to "Get a Line."
