Powerful Understanding explores effective ways to build social emotional skills and help students make connections, question what they read, and reflect on their learning as they develop into stronger readers and writers. Strategic and critical thinking strategies revolve around core anchor books that help integrate thinking into everything you teach--from social responsibility, to immigration, to life cycles. This highly readable book includes a wealth of classroom examples and extensive hands-on activities designed to help students think more deeply, learn more widely, and develop a more powerful understanding of what it means to be a responsible and compassionate person.--$cProvided by publisher.
