Michigan IMPACT! Explorer Magazine​

Built specifically for the Michigan K–12 Academic Standards for Social Studies, the Michigan Explorer Magazine offers extended content in a variety of Lexile-levels. It’s perfectly synced with the lessons students are learning about in their text and even ties to the same Essential Question. Students will study a variety of genres but can each study the same book at different Lexile-levels bringing a number of perspectives to class discussions.​

IMPACT! Social Studies (Grades K–5)

A social studies curriculum that’s written for the C3 Framework, IMPACT helps students gain the building blocks for critical thinking and analysis, using inquiry to learn about history, geography, economics, and civics. Students engage, investigate, report, and take action on the content the learn each day, all tied to an Essential Question.

Inquiry Journal​

The Inquiry Journal kicks off the inquiry process through the C3 Framework as students view images and sources and begin to analyze them. Students are also challenged with making meaning through activities using the close reading routine, citing evidence to write in response to reading, Reader’s Theater, and more.
