Overview

Are your students researching a public policy? Help them through the process with this graphic organizer. It guides students through narrowing down a topic, answering questions through research, finding positive and negative views of the policy, and analyzing its effectiveness. The guide is designed to help students present what they’ve learned in a written paper, oral presentation, or class debate.
