Overview

Understanding different points of view is an important life skill and an essential component of critical thinking. Readers learn to do this as they explore a wide variety of topics that encourage debate and discussion, from the need for school uniforms and tests to the importance of voting and caring for the environment. The accessible but objective tone allows readers to examine their own points of view and back up their opinion with relevant facts. Full-color photographs and graphic organizers add a helpful and engaging visual component to this age-appropriate look at the development of an informed opinion. Features include: A balance of topics exists between issues that directly affect children, such as serving junk food in schools, and broader social issues, such as homelessness. Fact boxes provide relevant data and statistics to help readers learn to explain their side of a debate using credible information. Unbiased tone instills in readers a sense of respect for people who think differently than they do and encourages them to look at every side of an argument instead of only looking to reaffirm their beliefs.
