America Now: High School Edition

The Common Cores standards stipulate that the English classroom incorporates more nonfiction but how can you make that nonfiction engaging for your reluctant readers? America Now. The text has always been characterized by its brief and very current readings that reflect what students are talking and writing about right now. As series editor for The Best American Essays, Robert Atwan constantly scours a wide range of print and online periodicals, bringing to America Now an unrivaled awareness of the best writing on today’s issues —and the top-notch editorial support students need to approach it and to create solid academic writing of their own. Today, the book is still the most current reader available, but it doesn’t stop there. A brand new multimodal collection online provides even more carefully curated, dynamic selections for your students. When you use America Now in your course, the essential texts of today are both the words on a page and the world on a screen. The print text is now integrated with E-pages for America Now, designed to take advantage of what the Web can do.
