QUESTIONS

The LIFE SKILLS TEXTBOOKS

Put History on Trial. Separate Evidence from Opinion.

Using a hypothetical trial of Adolf Hitler as its framework, "The Power of Questions" invites students to actively investigate one of history’s most influential figures by
examining evidence, challenging interpretations, and considering multiple perspectives
before reaching their own conclusions.

Rather than teaching students what to think, this book teaches them how to think. 
In an age of artificial intelligence, misinformation, political polarization, and social media,
these are life skills that matter more than ever.

Every argument must be tested, every claim challenged,
and every conclusion earned through evidence.
