Instructional Ideas

  • Encourage learners to find text evidence to back up their arguments in both discussion and writing prompts

Pros

  • Lists vocabulary words and Common Core-aligned discussion questions for all 31 chapters
  • Includes writing prompts and additional fiction and nonfiction book recommendations 

Cons
