Do the Right Thing
Graphic novel illustrations with stories that look into crucial social situations
Do the Right Thing includes 25 six-page stories that each begin with a vocabulary list and end with comprehension questions. The book is ideal for the teen or young adult reading at a second grade level or below. Engaging and realistic illustrations support the story line and are attractive to contemporary youth. The well-written and carefully conceived stories reflect modern times and attitudes. The text is written in an easy-to-read style with no more than 100 words per page. The stories are designed so that parents can read them aloud, although some readers will be able to tackle them independently. Topics include safety with strangers, hospital visit etiquette, dealing with an accident, and preparing for a major social event.
