My partner James did a stellar job delivering the graphic organizer and the contents of the article to the group. The organizer is really meant for students to critically analyze and closely read the article, then outline the main arguments between the two sides. It is a great beginning activity for students to get used to the idea of what ethics are when it comes to the Social Studies curriculum.
The news article is the main content piece for students to compare and contrast on an ethical (and contentious) topic. Can work for most grades in Social Studies, depending on what the end assessment is.
