The text is very heavy on content and is best used in an AP/CE/Honors classroom where a teacher can use the text to supplement basic historical concepts. The text is very straightforward but contains some jargon and catchphrases that may confuse students who struggle with grade-level English speaking capabilities. The text is well-sourced and scaffolded in an appealing way to build a consistent narrative that is easy for students to connect with; however, it is not easily customizable for diverse learners and falls short of creating narratives to build upon shared values and cultural traits.
