Lessons also include a story involving middle school students that introduces language arts concepts such as alliteration, idioms, fallacies in reasoning, foreign words and phrases, mythology, and journalistic writing. This 168-page book increases vocabulary, stimulates imagination, and boosts standards-based language arts skills.
