"Fisher and Frey break down the process into four cognitive pathways that help teachers “organize the journey through a text” and frame an extended discussion around it."
- What does the text say? (general understandings and key details)
- How does the text work? (vocabulary, structure, and author’s craft)
- What does the text mean? (logical inferences and intertextual connections)
- What does the text inspire you to do? (write, investigate, present, debate)

Each unit has an organizing generalization providing a conceptual lens to create prompts that demand evidence from the text. Witness how conceptual generalizations join science and social studies to form interdisciplinary units. The units are free and aligned with Michigan standards.
