Seeing Both Sides Books

Do you have a smartphone? Are you allowed to use it at school? In some classrooms, students use their smartphones to do their schoolwork every day. But the devices are not allowed at all in some schools. What do you think about using smartphones at school? Check out arguments on both sides of the issue, then it’s your turn to answer the question: smartphones in class, yes or no? Featuring engaging reading activities and relatable content, the simple-to-follow book, Smartphones in Class, 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.
