Sea of Troubles has been designed for classroom teachers struggling to address the overwhelming issues facing our world today. By embracing the Common Core's emphasis on the inclusion of more nonfiction, informational texts, the authors have demonstrated how to incorporate meaningful informational texts into their favorite units of literature. Sea of Troubles shows teachers how literature and informational texts can work together, to enhance each other, and, by extension, enhance student's abilities to critically think and respond to the sea of troubles that pervades society.

Industry Reviews

Are you keen to explore contemporary issues with students but more than a little bored with the titles in your curriculum? Sea of Troubles offers a model for re-envisioning how traditional texts are taught. Elizabeth and B.H. James describe instructional moves designed to demonstrate how literature "reflects the world and the world is reflected in fiction." Whether you teach online or in person, their lessons integrating informational readings with literary works are sure to enliven classroom conversations.--Carol Jago, past president, National Council of Teachers of English; author, "The Book in Question: Why and How Reading Is in Crisis"
