CommonLit.org is a wonderful resource to use in a Language Arts classroom. Each story or article is accompanied by guided reading questions, assessment questions, and discussion questions. In addition, students can click on words to see the definitions, choose to have the text read aloud, and have chosen text translated. Read an excerpt from The Trail of Tears Diary which includes interviews that reveal the extraordinary resilience of the Native American nations during the trail.
