• ELA 100 Essential Literary Works WorkbookThe literature part of the exam is 70% of the multiple choice (you are STILL responsible for the ELA Exam Standards).  Since you plan to teach English Language Arts, it is the expectation that you can teach these works.The workbook is made up of 100 CORE works that a candidate would need to know at the minimum to pass the exam.This book gives you the ability to pace yourself in a structured way. You pick a reasonable number of literary works to accomplish for each day you are studying so that you can feel a sense of accomplishment without becoming overwhelmed by the work.

  There is one page for each literary work and there are different things to look for in each type of work: poetry, fiction, and non-fiction.
