Author Description

Discoveries in Non-Fiction is a unique collection of contemporary non-fiction for high school students in Grades 9 and 10. Based on the broad theme of discovery, the anthology is organized into seven themes (plus a "More to Discover" section) which encourages students to discover for themselves new ideas and connections among subjects, people, themselves, and the world. The selections cover a wide variety of subject areas, formats, sources, and exemplary writing styles. Activities following each selection, and in the Teacher's Resource, prompt students to reflect and make connections.
