The book is divided into six easy-to-read chapters, each ending with thought provoking questions and space to jot how you might integrate his ideas into your own classroom."" --Tess Alfonsin, Middleweb ""Regardless of years of experience or area of expertise, educators need this book in their writing toolbox. Kevin Thomas Smith offers concise, practical, and meaningful examples that will help teachers guide students in mastering the skill of critical thinking."" --Matt Rickey, Language Arts/Social Studies Teacher, East Noble High School, Kendallville, IN ""While the Common Core provides the literary standards for K-12 educators, it does not explain how to use the standards with real students.
