I’d be curious to know about choice – I don’t think they’re aiming for balance
(e.g., Pro/Con). Thoughts…?

Hi - is anyone using Newsela? Our middle school science team is interested in
it; I'm surprised at how little information they provide about how their
content is rewritten, how the stories are chosen, what content biases they may
or may not have. They've got some great partnerships and supporters.
Thanks - Cathy
