SurveyEnglish teacher Ms. Johnson uses ProCon.org in the classroom and states: 'When my students write persuasive essays and speeches, I have them select a topic from ProCon.org. The information is balanced and complete, allowing students to focus on the skills required for organizing and writing a good essay,without having to take time researching.

Then, they were to rate those main ideas on how convincing they were. Finally, they were to choose a side of the topic and use quotes from both pro and con within their own argument by means of a paragraph or an essay.'

This is a great resource for my little ones (7th graders) who are just learning about research and provides them with quality source material without having them lost in Google.

Survey ResponseEnglish teacher Ms. Melody Aldrich uses ProCon.org in the classroom and states: 'I like the fact that it provides unbiased information and makes my students choose how to interpret that information for the sake of an argument. They have to defend or refute the argument based on the information they find and then use the information to back up their opinion, which is directly linked to a common core standard. It's also current and high interest and I'm always able to find something they can buy into immediately.' 699.Cascade Christian High SchoolMedford, Oregon9-12English.

Selected students then formally debate the topic, while audience members are responsible for asking thoughtful questions to each side.' 924.Clear Lake High SchoolClear Lake, Iowa9-12Speech/Debate.

Survey ResponseLanguage Arts teacher Ms.
Sharon May uses ProCon.org and states: 'My students respond to a blog question about a current social issue after reading pro and con editorials from the Salt Lake Tribune. From their blog discussions, students choose one of the issues to develop into an argument essay. I refer students to ProCon.org to help build their arguments and address counterarguments. As part of their writing process, I ask them to reflect on what they learned from the site and how their knowledge and/or perspective has evolved. The process moves students from one-sided opinion based on emotions or assumptions to a balanced, reasoned argument based on evidence and law. The outcome has been excellent learning, both in writing argument and in dealing with complex issues as emerging citizens.' 1190.Desert Hot Springs High SchoolDesert Hot Springs, California9-12English.
