Points of View: Set 11

Are kids too busy? Should students have to do community service? Is it too hard to vote in the United States? These questions don't have an easy answer. In fact, they often lead to heated debates between people with different points of view. Readers learn to examine challenging questions such as these from different angles as they develop strong critical thinking skills. By diving into debates surrounding topics as diverse as the importance of group projects and the value of space exploration, they learn to form their own opinions on current events as well as topics that directly affect their lives.
