I think this means...reading comprehension, right? I liked the critical methods that Gallagher has given for us to use with students. The ability to differentiate between polls, statistics, underlying meanings is invaluable to us as adults. I think this is a great chapter that could be used right from the book. You could make worksheets from the examples and talk through them with the students after they have had a chance to decide what they mean.

I totally agree. Giving students the ability to distinguish between different choices in real life comes from having discussed and thought through things like polls, statistics, and underlying meanings of situations, and our roll as teachers can tremendously and implementing these in the classroom with worksheets would benefit them.
I agree. I thought it was really great that Gallagher used the euphemisms to relate to the real world and how students will use English and all of its concepts for the rest of their lives.
