This book provides ideas and sample lessons for small group project guidance.  It's about combining what we know about reading comprehension, the research process, student thinking, and people working together to build knowledge that matters.

One graduate credit is available through St. Mary's for $140.00.  Please indicate in the notes if you will be taking this course for credit.
