To help plan your course, we present three sample syllabi: a semester syllabus, a three-week syllabus, and a weekend format syllabus. These various syllabi accommodate the different formats in which your course may be offered. | |
For each chapter, we include an overview, key understanding and concepts, in-class activities and discussion topics, out-of-class assignments, a list of accompanying overhead transparencies, and multiple-choice and essay test items.
| | | |
Here you will find the several overheads for each chapter. Some overheads are graphics from the textbook that can be used to focus discussion in class. Other overheads are lists of major points in the textbook that can be used for in-class activities and discussions. Finally, some overheads are supplementary to the textbook.

In this section, you will find live links and easy access to all the website resources mentioned in the text.

To accompany the second edition, we offer you three units that supplement three chapters in the book. First, to supplement Chapter 9, Researching Multiple Sources, we present “Child Labor: A Research Unit for High School Students” in which the students first research library sources and then research new data and communicate their positions on the issue. Second, to supplement Chapter 11, Enhancing Literacy In and Among the Disciplines, we present a coordinated unit “Connecting Twentieth Century Women Writers and Scientists” that brings together English and biology as teachers and high school students read literature by and about women and concurrently study about the AIDS epidemic. Third, to supplement Chapter 12, Integrated Curriculum, we offer an integrated middle school unit, “Our Environment: Home, School, Town, Planet Earth” in which several disciplines combined to address contemporary environmental issues and their possible solutions.
