Why does each chapter include readings and writing tasks?
Students need strong reading and writing skills to succeed in life. School administrators have responded to this need by making demands on the ‘non-core’ subject teachers to incorporate reading and writing as part of the curriculum. Because many teachers expressed frustration over the need to meet these demands on top of all the other things they are being asked to do, The Architecture Handbook integrates a 500-700 word reading in each chapter that ties directly to the architectural content of the lesson.
