School Dances, Yes or No 

School dances are an important experience for some people while others think that school dances are overrated and not the best use of school money. Do you have an opinion on this issue? Once you have looked into both sides of the issue, you’re ready to decide: school dances, yes or no? Featuring engaging reading activities and relatable content, the simple-to-follow book, School Dances, Yes or No?, allows young learners to construct their own persuasive statements. The Seeing Both Sides series encourages young learners to research and support their own conclusions on a variety of long-debated topics. Readers will explore the pros and cons of each specific topic and gain a better understanding of differing opinions and why it is important to look at all the facts before making a decision. Each 24-page book features a teaching focus, before- and after-reading activities, writing tips, a glossary, and more, to effectively engage young learners and prompt them to explain their understanding.
