Current, accessible readings meet students where they are and take them where they need to go. Mirror on America uses students’ comfort with topics they already know and have opinions about to ease writing anxiety. Each chapter features readings that are brief and high-interest as well as pieces that are longer and more complex in order to scaffold students’ critical reading skills. Robust apparatus supports every step of the reading and writing process. From Thinking Ahead boxes that offer students some pre-reading context, to glosses that support building vocabulary, to end-of-reading prompts that question content and craft, Mirror on America remains one of the most supportive readers available. Thought-provoking images from popular culture throughout the book. A range of visuals from cartoons, advertisements, film, and art are accompanied by critical thinking questions and foster visual literacy.
