Journeys near and Far Book Two

This intermediate- to high-level reader is the second in a two-book set organized by thematic units that emphasizes students' roles in the learning process. Book 2 leads students through expository writing using such themes as "The People, Places and Experiences That Shape Identity, Exploring Our Human Stories, The Heroes in Our Lives, Coping with Tragedy and Destruction," and "Exploring the Paranormal." Each section in the book increases in difficulty to steadily challenge students.
