What’s the reading level?
This is a tricky question for any document heavy program. The documents vary in their reading level. Some are difficult and others quite straightforward. None of the textual documents are over a page long, and many are a few sentences in length. We want our students to work on rigorous DBQ activities, but not DBQs that will shut down the reluctant readers because of document length. Many documents are charts, graphs, cartoons, maps or artwork.
