Description
Equip students with the skills they need to synthesize information from a variety of different text types. Each unit provides multiple text sources. Students are prompted to explore the reading materials and complete the accompanying activities. The activities are designed to teach students to:
- Draw information from multiple sources
- Use higher-order thinking skills to answer questions
- Locate information that fits a specific criteria
- Integrate information from several texts in order to write knowledgeably about a subject
The units in this book are both familiar and innovative. They are familiar in that they pair reading passages with activities that test reading comprehension. They are innovative in how they accomplish this goal through the use of multiple text sources and multiple answer formats. These materials promote deeper understanding and thought processes by prompting students to analyze, synthesize, hypothesize, and empathize.
