Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Academics learn strategies to share their opinions and agree or disagree with others in a respectful manner. The resource provides scenarios to help individuals form opinions and share them with their peers. Young historians use graphic organizers, participate in group discussion, and review essential vocabulary to form important strategies for sharing and listening to different opinions.
