Differentiated Instruction for Advanced Students provides multiple opportunities to engage students and to teach them the skills necessary to excel in college-level, literature-based reading, thinking, discussion, and writing tasks. This supplement contains extended lessons for four selections from each unit in the Mirrors & Windows: Connecting with Literature Student Edition. Each lesson focuses on a particular selection in the textbook. The lesson expands on an aspect of that selection, often in many cases taking students outside the textbook and connecting them with other pieces of literature or fields of study.
