This resource is divided into four components. The topics in each component, as well as the components themselves, are best covered sequentially; however, each component may be used alone. At the beginning of each component is a brief overview of the component, answer keys and suggestions for implementing the activities. The implementation suggestions are presented as ideas only. It is not intended that any or all need be implemented to use the activity pages. At the end of each component is a two-page quiz.
