How does this website help my students?
This website provides students with valuable information about three high-quality books that these children can use as mentor texts. The students are also exposed to activities that are on the higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, which means they have to use higher thinking. Many of the activities on this site are a part of the 'Creating' level, which is the highest. The great things about the books presented on this website is that activities can be made representing every level of Bloom's Taxonomy, so teacher's can find this website valuable for the books alone.
