Helping students prep for the November election

Another new set of releases for us are Dialogue, Discussion, and Debate: Social Studies and Dialogue, Discussion, and Debate: Science. Each is particularly apropos, considering the upcoming elections. Each title helps students develop methods for talking about and analyzing controversial subjects, such as genetic engineering, evolution vs. creationism, illegal downloads, assault weapons, hate speech, and more.


If your children are like my 7- and 12-year-old, then getting them to think and articulate clearly about topical matters is a challenge. That's why we think the "D3" series will prove to be so useful in classrooms.
