End O' November

Hi team!

Here's a link to today's prezi "Looking for a Place to Happen":  "Discovery" Really?

And below the last part of that questionnaire on "teaching controversial issues". And a note from the researcher: 

So I figured I would like to have some of your students do the second part of the survey.
I'm sending you the whole one again, but perhaps encourage them to do the 'Likert scale' section.

Thanks,
Justin Potestio

Please answer the following questions using the Likert-type scale (a brief reason why is optional)

Scale:

4)    Students really don’t want to deal with conflict and controversy

5)    The stability of our nation depends on consensus among citizens about its most important issues

6)    It is important to teach students how to deal with conflict and controversy
