Gr 3-6-By providing different arguments about contemporary issues, this series, which is designed to align with the CCSS, asks readers to think critically and evaluate alternative points of view. Body Image, Television, and Books are standout entries. Body explores the effects of media on self-image, while Television examines the history and effects of reality TV shows, and Banned looks at book challenges from different angles. In all of the titles, the clean design integrates textual and visual (charts, graphs, photos, etc.) information. Text boxes contain suggestions to "Explore Online," "Straight to the Source" primary-source excerpts, "Further Evidence" writing exercises, or interesting facts. The publisher's "Web Links" at the end of each volume lead readers to websites that contain current articles and multimedia to round out the content explored. These trendy topics will grab casual readers and report writers alike. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
