My Nonprofit Reviews

I'm developing a grant for debate, and this website provides great subjects and detail for students taking sides in American history and current events. I'm also able to link controversies from the past to events happening now, which allows students to make connections that have a powerful effect on their learning and interest. For example, fifth grade students were transitioning between learning about 18th century US history and Latin America. So lessons were developed about the Mexican American war, then students were asked to write a persuasive essay around the subject of current immigration issues. Your ProCon information on this subject was key for student research. In a school filled with Latin immigrants, you might be surprised to hear some of their views (these are New York City schools).
