GENERIC TEACHING TOOLS

The development of literacy skills has long been known to be key to students' long-term academic and real world success. Literacy skills are the means through which students acquire a sophisticated understanding of their society's history, culture, and current affairs; an important element and responsibility of citizenship.

The twenty-four articles that constitute the Great Questions offer educators a unique opportunity to build real world literacy skills while providing students with the knowledge they need to become informed and active citizens.

The 'generic tools' presented in this section are designed to help educators support students efforts to assimilate, process and master the Great Questions articles.
