Accessing Points of View
First, we need to access the Points of View Database in order to find our articles.
Watch the tutorial video below to learn how to access and search Points of View to find Overview, Point, and Counterpoint articles.
The Overview Article will provide you with general information about your topic. It should have:
- The history of your topic
- Definitions of important words related to your topic
- Some points and/or counterpoints about your article.
The Point Article and Counterpoint Article are two different arguments about your topic. One will be in support of your topic, and one will be against your topic.
