CommonLit.org is a wonderful resource to use in a Language Arts classroom. Each story, poem, 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. In the poem "Columbus", Joaquin Miller writes poetically about the "Admiral" Christopher Columbus who sailed to the Americas in 1492. [Free account registration required for specific tools.]
