| Synopsis: |
This advanced level ESL reader, demystifies the values, attitudes, and cultural patterns of American life while offering students ample practice in improving reading, writing, and study skills. Reading selections-all original and controlled at the 2500-3000 word level-show how religion, the frontier, and a heritage of abundant resources shaped American values, and how these values are reflected in business, government, race relations, education, and the family today. Innovative activities elicit cross-cultural comparisons, generate lively discussions and values clarification, and encourage students to come to conclusions about American culture and society. |
