Language Arts materials Partner Discussion Guide catalog TDMG Discussion Guides are available for over two hundred works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The centerpiece of the Student Team Literature program, Discussion Guides present students with questions about the literature which require them to think analytically and comparatively, to draw conclusions, and to analyze the plot, literary devices, and writer’s style and technique. Guides are written for all reading levels, from selections appropriate for special education students to those with post-high school reading levels.
