Each chapter includes learning outcomes, key terms, classroom vignettes, classroom photos, student work examples, figures and tables, recommended readings, end of chapter activities, and more to motivate students and reinforce learning. The new edition is available as an enhanced e-book with hotlinks to videos, classroom materials, websites, interactive Chapter Assessments with feedback to correct answers, and to relevant Common Core and IRA standards for each chapter.
