One of the teachers in my department just did a demonstration for all of us on "deliberating democracy" that has been around, I believe, for about a year. The point is to have kids discuss differences on a wide variety of subjects and come to a consensus. The technique involved all kids in the classroom as opposed to a debate which only involves a few outspoken students. The methodology can be used to say compare two leaders in US history or an issue in government. Above is an explanation of it.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)
