EXTENDING BEYOND
THE TEXT
Authentic Engagement
and Ready-Made
Enrichment
These boxed features
accompanying readings
throughout the book are
enrichment ideas placed right
at point-of-use. They challenge
students to encounter other
perspectives, put texts in
conversation, grapple with
counter-arguments, and draw
connections to real-world issues.

REVISION AND EDITING WORKSHOPS
A Targeted Approach to Learning Grammar and Improving Writing
Not all students commit the same kinds of errors with grammar and conventions, or need to revise their writing in
the same way. So at the end of the book, we include eight revision workshops, and fourteen editing workshops
with scaffolded activities that guide students from understanding to application in their own writing. We believe
this is far more effective than skill-and-drill, and helps teachers differentiate by process for their student
population.
