What educators are saying

Kids found this fascinating. I'm trying to incorporate more real-world examples this year to foster critical thinking and this was perfect. Students have been asking to do more case studies like this in the weeks following the implementation of this lesson.
Because the information is thought provoking, students immediately gravitated to it. The discussion got heated, but students appreciated voicing their points of view. No one wanted to leave. I look forward to using the additional articles.
