N2  - This multivolume set of readers features poems, short stories, essays, and excerpts from larger works gathered together under specific themes.  Each reading includes thinking, discussion, and writing activies.  For example, volume 1 includes a short story under the theme of Accomplishments entitled "The scholarship jacket."  Thinking activities include comprehension questions regarding facts within the story such as "Why was the scholarship jacket important to Martha?"  Discussion activities take information from the story and ask the reader to analyse data ("What is the real meaning of the scholarship or other achievement award?") or make real-world connections with their own lives.  Writing activities can focus on a specific incident in the story asking the reader to write a scene of dialogue for a "what would have happened if..." situation
