Introductory text
summarizes the
central themes of the
viewpoint that follows
and facilitates analysis of
the viewpoint's structure.
Biographical detail
about the viewpoint
author gives the student
clues about the author's
perspective on the issue
and how it shapes the
content and style of the
viewpoint. Such clues
enable the student
to better evaluate
the validity of the
author's reasoning.
Charts and graphs
allow students to
integrate and evaluate
content presented in
visual formats, helping
them understand a
single topic from
multiple angles.
Guided-reading
questions get students
thinking about the
central themes
of the viewpoint,
while also helping
them determine the
viewpoint's explicit
meaning and make
logical inferences
from it.
Clear, straightforward
subheads throughout
the viewpoint act as
guideposts, enabling
students to determine
the central points of
the text and analyze
its structure.
Discussion questions
help students hone
critical thinking skills,
assess the validity of
viewpoint authors'
claims and reasoning,
and compare the
approaches two or
more authors take
to the same topic.
