About the Book

Help your students navigate complex texts in history/social studies and English language arts! This book shows you how to use a key tool--text-based questions--to build students' literacy and critical thinking skills and meet the Common Core State Standards. You'll learn how to ask text-based questions about different types of nonfiction and visual texts, including primary and secondary sources, maps, charts, and paintings. You'll also get ideas for teaching students to examine point of view, write analytical responses, compare texts, cite textual evidence, and pose their own high-level questions. The book is filled with examples that you can use immediately or modify as needed. Each chapter ends with a reflection section to help you adapt the ideas to your own classroom.

What's Inside:

  • Helpful information on teaching different types of nonfiction texts, including literary nonfiction, informational texts, primary and secondary sources, and visual texts
  • Ideas for locating primary sources
  • Questions students should ask about every text
  • Techniques for soliciting higher-order questions from students

  • Tips for teaching students to write good responses to text-based questions, including how to cite sources and incorporate point of view
  • Ideas for using rubrics and peer grading to evaluate students' responses
