By employing inquiry based units of study that insist on the use of iconic literature at the center, students will be more prepared for what awaits them with Common Core exams.LiteratureStudy and teaching (Secondary)United StatesAmerican literatureStudy and teaching (Secondary)United StatesEnglish literatureStudy and teaching (Secondary)United StatesEnglish languageComposition and exercisesStudy and teaching (Secondary)United StatesCritical thinkingStudy and teaching (Secondary)United StatesLiteratureStudy and teaching (Secondary)American literatureStudy and teaching (Secondary)English literatureStudy and teaching (Secondary)English languageComposition and exercisesStudy and teaching (Secondary)Critical thinkingStudy and teaching (Secondary)807.1/273James B.
