NorthStar Reading and Writing 1 with MyEnglishLab (3rd Edition)

NorthStar, Fourth Edition, a five-level series, engages students through authentic and compelling content and empowers them to achieve their academic and personal goals. The approach to critical thinking in both the Reading/Writing and Listening/Speaking strands challenges students to move beyond basic comprehension to higher-level analysis. Conceptualized to promote critical thinking, NorthStar infuses analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and application throughout every lesson, not just in a critical thinking section like in other series.

The NorthStar program offers a range of components to cater to different learning styles and needs. The Student Book with MyEnglishLab builds on the success of previous editions, providing a seamless integration of print and online content to continue engaging and motivating students through new and updated contemporary, authentic topics. For maximum flexibility, an eText version of the Student Book is available for use on iPad and Android devices.

MyEnglishLab: NorthStar is a valuable online platform where students can access additional practice, view videos, listen to audio selections, and receive instant feedback on their work. Teachers can assign MyEnglishLab activities to reinforce the skills learned in class and monitor their students' progress through an online gradebook.

The Teacher Resource eText for each NorthStar strand provides a comprehensive suite of resources, including a digital Student Book, downloadable achievement tests, classroom audio, lesson planners, video activities, videoscripts, teacher's manuals, answer keys, and a downloadable placement test. These resources are accessible through MyEnglishLab: NorthStar, making it a convenient and comprehensive tool for teachers.

In addition to the digital components, the NorthStar program also includes Classroom Audio CDs. The Listening and Speaking audio contains the recordings and activities, as well as audio for the achievement tests. The Reading and Writing strand includes the readings on audio, providing students with additional resources to support their learning.

Overall, the NorthStar program, with its focus on critical thinking and its range of print and digital components, offers a robust and engaging learning experience for students, empowering them to achieve their academic and personal goals. The program's flexibility and integration of technology-based resources cater to diverse learning styles and needs, making it a valuable tool for both students and teachers.
