The Best Way to Get Your Way (inbunden, eng)

Kids are used to disagreeing with rules - not that anyone ever listens. But what if there was a way of disagreeing that worked? What if there was a way kids could change adults'' minds? Welcome to debating! This book can help kids master exactly how it''s done. As two debaters on opposing sides tackle each of five hot-button issues - chores, screen time, eating vegetables, bedtime and doing homework - readers follow along, step-by-step, and learn the ins and outs of doing research, constructing an argument and rebutting an opponent''s case.

Then, after each debate, readers get to decide which side they''re on - and they just might surprise themselves! It turns out, making a smart and logical argument is a perfect formula for getting your way! What kid can resist? While everyone else tells kids not to argue, award-winning author Tanya Lloyd Kyi says go for it - the right way - in this lively and thought-provoking book.

The well-researched content covers the entire debating process: resolution, opening statement, research, rebuttal and closing argument. It also includes key tips about debating and public speaking, choosing terminology, the importance of deep listening and how to select quality sources.

Skills taught - critical thinking, research, media literacy, constructing a persuasive argument - link directly to the social studies inquiry process. Colourful, eye-catching art on every page by Chanelle Nibbelink features a diverse cast of characters and adds visual appeal.
