Cursory overview: I appreciate the balance of presentation. Questions presented to the students, I anticipate, will elicit parroting of family viewpoints. The reading and viewing material will allow the students to investigate and determine whether they agree or disagree with their original responses. Why/why not? Looking forward to rolling this out for middle school class.
