Common Lit: Why I Love a Country That Once Betrayed Me

Curated by ACT

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. In this transcript from a TED Talk, George Takei discusses his experiences being interned during WWII and how he feels about America today. [Free account registration required for specific tools.]
