 The Points of View Debate Blog is a forum for students to voice their opinions and exchange ideas about topics in the news.  Classes can read up on topics, and use the comment field to debate the issues with their peers. Each month, the student with the most thought-provoking and well-crafted comment will win a prize. Learn from each other; join the debate!

You can access it from the Free Trials section of our research databases. It will soon be in the list of databases.
