Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter: Strong (2)
I think this concept and materials are great for students of all ages. I think adding more specific materials for students to use would be good for them to learn more and understand the concept in an unbiased way.

Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching: Superior (3)
The subject material for teachers is spot on and most helpful. Having the extra links on dealing with controversial issues and countering biases is great for teachers in knowing how to deal with hard issues that still need to be taught in class.

Quality of Instructional and Practice Exercises: Superior (3)
Allowing students to interact out loud with themselves is a good way for them to learn about what they know and know they feel about this topic. Having high school students write about the subject gives them the opportunity to learn more.
