Synopsis

Do you wear a school uniform? They can prevent you from having to decide what to wear every day, but they can also make you feel like everyone looks the same. It’s nice to be able to dress the way you want and show your own individual style, but it’s also nice to get a few extra minutes of sleep not having to worry about what you are going to wear. This title will allow students to identify the reasons an author gives to support points in a text.

· Text based questions

· Bold keywords with phonetic glossary

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 1-4-Forming opinions and creating cogent arguments are important skills for students to learn, and this series strives to develop these abilities in young readers. Each book centers on a different issue, offers two opposing sides, and asks readers to choose one. The presentation is simple. Each page features two to three sentences, which sometimes take the form of questions ("Is it fair to say a color is just for girls or boys?"). Color photos are used heavily, taking up more space than the text. At the end of each volume is a set of "Writing Tips" (which are more advanced in level than the rest of the text) to help students write an opinion paper; these prompts stress the importance of using facts rather than feelings. VERDICT An uncomplicated look at complicated topics, but not necessarily a must-purchase.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
