Expand students' understanding of environmental headlines with compelling nonfiction. Eyes Wide Open by Paul Fleischman provides both the facts needed to comprehend the environmental scene and the tools to assess information sources. These discussion questions, writing assignments, and research activities are specifically aligned with the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts: reading informational text, speaking and listening, and writing.

Excerpted from

Eyes Wide Open: Going Behind the Environmental Headlines
Eyes Wide Open: Going Behind the Environmental Headlines
By Author: Paul Fleischman
Paul Fleischman offers teens an environmental wake-up call and a tool kit for decoding the barrage of conflicting information confronting them. Because money is as important as molecules in the environment, science is joined with politics, history, and psychology to provide the briefing needed to comprehend the 21st century. Extensive back matter, including a glossary, bibliography, and index, as well as numerous references to websites, provides further resources.
