How do Viewpoints and Reference Points fit together?
A teacher can use Viewpoints and Reference Points independently or together. If a teacher wishes to teach deductively, he/she can begin with the author narrative and models in Reference Points then go on to specific selections in Viewpoints. If a teacher wishes to teach inductively, he/she can begin with any literary selection in Viewpoints and then move to the appropriate chapter in Reference Points for reinforcement of theory, process and implementation. The Teacher Guide for Viewpoints and Reference Points provides strategies and materials for both approaches.
