How to Use This Book
Stephanie Ojeda Ponce
There are two options for navigation:
1. The left-side navigation menu
2. The navigation arrows at the bottom left and right-side of the screen
As you’re moving through the chapters in the book, keep an eye out for the following features:
Student Learning Goals
These green boxes are placed at the beginning of each chapter to give you a high-level overview of what you’re going to learn in the chapter.
Boxes with a thinking bubble always contain questions for reflection. You can think about these in your head or your instructor might ask you to respond to one or all of them in a notebook or learning journal.
Examples and Reflections
Purple boxes contain student writing examples or reflections.
Exercises
Blue boxes are for interactive exercises or examples. You can try doing them before you read the chapter to test your prior knowledge and assess how deeply you need to engage with the chapter content. Or, you can do them as you go, assessing what you’re learning along the way.
Key Takeaways
At the end of each chapter, you’ll see an orange box that highlights the key takeaways of the chapter. If you don’t have time to read the whole chapter before class, check out the key takeaways and then go back and read the chapter when you have time.
