Information comes in many forms--written such as narrative novels and expository textbooks, and visual formats such as photographs, charts, maps, graphs, videos, timelines, and advertisements. It is important that students be provided with opportunities to interact with different kinds of informational text and develop the skills
required to make meaning of it. This can be accomplished
through collaboratively planned resource-based learning
opportunities that integrate skills into instruction.
