There are 10 units of research, most of which focus on topics based on scientific or social research. These topic-driven units have three lessons. These courses include two short readings and two extended readings designed to build knowledge and vocabulary about the identified topic. Supplement and scoring text also support this theme, balancing literature and non-text. Each unit is driven by a fundamental problem that forms the framework of the learning unit and provides a true correlation with the unit.
