Fact boxes, graphic organizers, and full-color photographs accompany the informative main text to help readers develop strong critical thinking skills. The essential information presented in each volume will help readers become informed and active citizens.
• Objective tone encourages readers to look for the facts about controversial issues
• Historical background is given on topics such as free speech and immigration, giving readers a deeper understanding of the connection between what they’ve learned in social studies classes and the challenges facing the world today
