*The ebook edition of Nasreen’s Secret School is used as a model for the Grade 7: Module 1 Performance Task, for which students create an illustrated ebook to share with a younger audi-
ence. If students will be completing this task using digital tools, the ebook should be procured as a model. If digital tools for the Performance Task are unavailable, a copy of the print edition
(978-1416994374) can be substituted to support students in making a picture book on paper.
