There is too much information per page it is overwhelming. There are too many topics per unit and the relation to the statement of inquiry seems like a stretch. The opportunities for assessment are good and also the opportunities for service. Review: Not a Kindle version - The content of the book is really good, however the Kindle version is totally not worth it! It is really small font, and you can't zoom in or manipulate letters, columns etc. Really not a book adapted to Kindle at all. Totally regret.
