This video helps to understand how to pick the right kind of texts for our students in any discipline, not just our Language Arts classes. It emphasizes that text complexity comes in a variety of ways, not just a book. This works well with the new Common Core/ELA standards that we are all to be implementing in our classrooms this year. It is 14 minutes long, but a great review of how to pick those difficult texts for our students and challenge their thinking.
