Subject: [CASL-L] pro/con articlesHello All,I am looking for some good sources of pro/con articles on various topics. The teacher is looking for articles (appropriate for 8th graders) that discuss a topic but don't list out the pros and cons. She wants students to be able to find them in the article.Does anyone know of any free sources for this? My budget is a third of what it was last year so I don't have the funds to pay for something.Thank you!KimKim MusketSchool LibrarianJames H. Moran, Sr. Middle School
