This resource is also available through AEA (http://www.aea11.k12.ia.us/ ) under the “Resources and Research tools.” As always use the AEA username and password.
Points of view reference is part of Ebscohost [this is the main database for newspapers and magazines].
After you log in you will be prompted to click on the points of view search.
Search capability: You can do a tree search by the listed topics or areas that are listed. You also can type in the categories and topics in the search box. The topics are listed by “browse by category” and “view all topics”
If you click on the topic in the “view category” you can then narrow down your topic.
Students will then be presented with articles. Specifically they will be presented with articles from the books “points of view” that are specifically designed to present opposing view points of current controversial topics. Students can also click on the tabs for periodicals, newspaper, radio or news transcripts, primary documents, books, biographies, images, and videos.
Additionally if you click on the article, it will offer that point of view and off to the right it will include a link to the counterpoint article (which should already be included in the other list of articles under the points of view tab).
There are also numerous research guides of how to write a research paper, how do an oral report, debate, create a bibliography and more.
This resource is comparable to and would compliment SIRS issue researcher which is offered as a part of Iowa AEA online (and can be found on the list of resource on Heartland AEA’s website). In doing a search for “endangered animals” both
have a wealth of information. Both provide newspaper and magazine articles for research on speech or paper topics. They help students to include the counterpoint and multiple arguments for a topic. SIRS at this point seems to possibly have more topics, but if you have a topic that is found on both, the combination of these two resources together can help students with presenting both sides of a topic in a paper. Additionally SIRS seems to try to form a thesis more for students that a student could argue in favor for or against. Points of view does not offer a thesis but simply compiles the articles for the students.
