My Project

The Junior Great Books Nonfiction Inquiry program features thought-provoking nonfiction texts that yield evaluative questioning. Texts explore historical and contemporary issues and align with national social studies and science standards.

Junior Great Books literature is the perfect critical thinking enrichment resource to allow students to meaningfully compare texts across genres and curricular areas.

Utilizing JGB nonfiction text units, short quizzes to assess comprehension, unit-specific activity pages corresponding to those outlined in the Teacher's Guide, and correlations to stories from Junior Great Books Series 4, we could help build a robust foundation for lifelong learning.
