Purposeful and Transparent
As students are reading more and varied texts, they will need to know how to evaluate if sources are true. There are historical documents on the GED test to evaluate and make judgments about.
Contextual
Each of us is confronted with more and more information that is readily available on the Internet and we must increase our information literacy levels in order to make informed decisions in our lives.
Building Expertise
After collecting information about the quilt codes, students write a paper in defense of what they believe to be true.
