Reading Informational Texts

Hi,

I read this blog from Edutopia that I wanted to share with the community.  It highlighted a lesson for middle schoolers, but I believe would be perfect for adult learners.  In the lesson, students were given the opportunity to analyze the text from two or more authors.  The iPad was used as a reference tool for the class.  The blog was titled Common Core in Action: Examining 2 Texts in the Social Studies Classroom.  I hope that you get some ideas from it.
