Category Description for Inquire & Investigate
This series is a cool way for middle school-aged students to do research and form their own opinions on controversial topics in American history. Use a smartphone or tablet app to scan QR codes to find primary source documents online to inform yourself and back up your opinions. A timeline lays out the facts of the event to give an overview for the reader. The text is interesting and readable, broken up with color graphics and photos. Vocabulary is occasionally pointed out in the margins as "vocab labs." As facts are presented, questions are posed to the reader, encouraging them to form their own viewpoint. It feels like a safe way to let students use the internet for research and investigation. These would be a good introduction to research and debate. Sc, 120pp ~Sara
