I enjoy including relevant statistics in my lessons. Students need to be able to create arguments that infuse logos like statistics. As we all become teachers of the Common Core, we will need to teach our students to become better persuaders. FedStats can provide you and your students with a centralized source of data from over 100 federal agencies. I encourage my students to back up their claims with valid data. To me, a passionate argument is not as effective compared to an argument based upon logic and reason.
No matter your content area, you will be able to use something from FedStats to supplement a future lesson!
