ThinkalongTM 's goal is to help students become better critical thinkers and media consumers by giving classrooms access to news-based learning activities made to enhance their curriculum. Although many of their topics are American oriented, try their social studies or science sections. Each topic has a teachers guide, students can watch a clip, read and listen. One of the best features is the PRO / CON option, in which you can sum up the students' ideas. Then you can go on to a FOR / AGAINST or OPINION essay activity.
