AllSides is a website that shows the news and issues from multiple perspectives: left, right and center. Their goal is to break through polarization so that readers can see issues from all sides in order to make their own informed opinion. This could be a great resource in class for discussing current issues or examining bias.
BOOK TIP: Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston
Named an NPR Best Book of 2016, along with a New York Public Library Top Ten for Teens of 2016, this is a modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale. Hermione Winters is a captain of her award winning cheerleading team. At cheerleading camp, she is sexually assaulted. This is not, though, the story of a victim, it is about how Hermione moves on and will not let this define her. This is a great read-alike to Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
