02Anatomy of a set
Beyond the obvious.
Every text is built out across four cognitive levels, so a single set scaffolds a whole lesson — or fuels a single sharp question.
Socratic openers
Low-floor, high-ceiling entry points. Break the ice without breaking the text, moving students past plot recall immediately.
Thematic threads
Trace motifs and symbols across the whole work — prompts engineered to build the foundation for a comparative essay.
Close reading
Anchored to the page. Line-specific prompts that force rigorous, evidence-based debate over the author's choices.
Higher-order synthesis
The "so what?". Synthesis prompts linking the primary text to critical theory, historical context, and modern parallels.
