Featured Reviews

Do Kids Have Too Much To Do? by Jennifer Joline Anderson, and Do Kids Need Video Game Ratings? / Do Kids Need Year-round School? by Carolyn Williams-Noren are part of a series that teaches elementary age students about opinions and debates using topics relevant to them. Each short book asks three questions related to the topic at hand, and provides evidence for and against. At the very end is a section walking students through writing their own opinion essays. The importance of facts and research is stressed, as is thinking for oneself, and keeping an open mind. I read these books with my cubs. We had fun discussing the topics and the art of forensics/ debate itself. While devil's advocate wasn't specifically discussed or mentioned, I appreciated the attention to both sides of an argument. That teaches kids to be more receptive to other people's points of view. Highly recommended!
