Points of View: Set 2
Understanding different points of view is an essential
part of growing up. Readers strengthen their ability to analyze and respect
different viewpoints as they examine questions about a wide range of

text, detailed graphic organizers, and fact boxes provide readers with the
background necessary to make their own informed opinions on these issues.
Full-color photographs of relatable young people in common situations help
readers apply this critical-thinking exercise to their own lives.

•Text inspires readers to think independently and critically about
the world around them
