Program Description

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Contemporary World Cultures: People, Places, and Societies, Texas Edition © 2016 is written to align with the Grade 6 TEKS and ELPS to help give students comprehensive coverage of the curriculum. It provides the tools to create a richer understanding of the world today and the people and societies that populate it. The program motivates students with lively features rich in the relevance of world geography. Skills, such as map reading, research, and civic participation are integrated throughout the program.

The text's narrative carefully integrates literacy instruction and scaffolds reading support throughout. The Teacher's Edition provides point-of-use differentiating instruction activities for English language learners, learners having difficulty with the content, and advanced learners. Academic vocabulary is woven throughout the program right along with content vocabulary, to ensure the rich vocabulary development that students need in order to succeed.
