TECH TIP: ProCon.org
ProCon.org is a great website if you are looking at ways to share balanced information with your students. At ProCon.org, you can select an issue, then within each issue topic, there are sections on general background and definition of the topic, along with articles and arguments to support each side of the issue. There is also a video gallery for most of the issues. There is also a special section that explains where each of the current presidential candidates stand on all the issues. It also has a Teacher's Corner that has lesson plans that connect to some of the issues.
BOOK TIP: Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt
This is a small but powerful book. Joseph is 14 and in foster care with Jack's family. He has been troubled his whole life, but is a father at 14 to Jupiter, who he has never met. This is the story of a young man trying to find himself, and his daughter, at any cost.
