Class Parties, Yes or No [PDF ebook] 

Some people think holiday and birthday celebrations should be allowed at school, while others think that parties in the classroom are a distraction and a waste of valuable learning time. Do you have an opinion about classroom parties? What reasons can you give for your opinion? Check out arguments on both sides of the issue, then you decide: class parties, yes or no? Featuring engaging reading activities and relatable content, the simple-to-follow book, Class Parties, 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.
