Lesson Walk-Through
Each grade-level literacy kit includes lesson plans and activities
for each book, supporting the six instructional shifts required to
meet the CCSS.
Staircase of Complexity
Lessons are designed to help prepare students for the
complexity of college and career texts, as they progress through
each grade-level library pack. Each book serves as the core text
around which instruction is centered. Lessons aid teachers,
providing necessary scaffolding and support in order to guide
students who are reading below grade level to develop the
skills needed to understand the selection.

UMMARY
From small cells to large systems, the human body is a machine of enormous complexity—a true
marvel worth exploring. Apparently simple actions, such as riding a bike, laughing, or holding a
pencil, involve a network of complex interrelationships within our body and between our body and
the environment.
