Firstly, it teaches kids about the history of phones! So many students, with so many questions about the 'olden times'. The readings are differentiated; you have a short version with some questions and then a longer version with more DOK questions. I used this as a mini boot camp before testing to just really hone in on the citing and inferencing standards and it was a beneficial tool. I'd highly recommend!
