Points of View: Sets 1 – 8

However, through a format that presents alternating points of view concerning some of today's most pressing issues, devoting equal time to each side, young readers learn how to respectfully evaluate arguments and formulate their own opinions. Enhanced with full-color photographs and engaging fact boxes, the objective main text explores hot-button issues such as social media, the Electoral College, and plastic bag bans, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions.
Key features of each volume:
