Immigration is the topic my kids will be debating this year. Debate is an amazing format that helps people learn and understand opposing views. At the beginning of each season, I have my debaters jot down their initial point of view. I have them jot down their point of view at the end of the season. Their perspective on the topic often shifts as they learn differing views in the debates.

Part of the reason their views shift is that during the season they have to debate both sides of the topic.
