[CASL-L] pro/con resource: middle school reading level?

[Sara Whalen]

All 500 of our freshmen write research papers on controversial topics, so I
am familiar with this type of resource.  In addition to using procon.org,
which I like, we also subscribe to three databases:

Issues and Controversies by ABC-Clio
Opposing Viewpoints by Gale
Points of View by Ebsco

I think Points of View has the best interface and articles for students
working at a remedial level.
