These letters are often taught as part of an upper-school literature, history, philosophy, or theology course. These source sheets (objectives) include for each book: student objectives, focused passages, questions for discussion in the context of the course as a whole and also individual topics (vices/virtues, religion, worldview, government, etc.), and lists of connections to art, music, history, scripture, history, philosophy, and other works of literature.
