Assigned student learning

Open the eight learning pathways for specific reading sections, explanations, datasets, leveled practice, public practice answers (not assessment keys), and transfer evidence. Print the student unit pages alongside the separate assessment packets. Broad book recommendations do not replace the assigned sections.

Assigned unit readings, datasets, leveled tasks and public practice answers; investigation designs and evidence limits. Print student lessons separately from the five-page assessment packets. Broad book recommendations remain optional; assigned source responses are required.
