STORM assists users in creating wiki-style articles for academic and research purposes, while an additional component, CO-STORM, offers similar features for round-table conversations. After entering a topic, STORM undergoes a brainstorming process to identify articles and information representing diverse viewpoints to include in the article or conversation. Select the link to the topic background discussions to observe the process of creating a conversation or article. Each article contains links to resources utilized to provide information. Visit the Discover section in STORM to find many examples of discussions and articles, or use the search feature to look for specific content. Share or download your results using the PDF link at the bottom of your screen.

In the Classroom
STORM can be used as a research assistant and resource tool to create articles to share and use with students. Ask STORM about upcoming topics in your classroom and include specific information that might not be readily available using textbooks and online searches. For example, when studying climate change, inquire about climate change in your particular region or state to provide more relatable information to your students. STORM creates a table of contents for each article and uses these subtopics as starting points for research projects that present different viewpoints and information about your topic. Explore the BrainSTORMing process of an article with students to discuss and understand how to approach information from various perspectives. Extend learning by asking students to research content from different viewpoints using Project Zero's Thinking Routines Toolbox, reviewed here, specifically those in the Considering Controversies, Dilemmas, and Perspectives category. When complete, use Padlet, reviewed here to share student research by creating columns for each perspective or viewpoint.

The routines, such as See, Think, Wonder, Looking Ten Times Two, Step Inside, Headlines, Creative Questions, and ESP+I (Experience / Struggles / Puzzles / Insights), offer structured ways to move learners from observation to interpretation, perspective taking, summarizing, curiosity, and reflection. Each routine is explained with its purpose, suggested questions, and tips for adaptation. The activities emphasize flexibility and encourage teachers to build these routines into their "thinking toolkit" for richer classroom discussions.

Students can rotate in groups, using the See, Think, Wonder routine at each station to record their observations, interpretations, and questions on sticky notes or a shared Padlet, reviewed here. After reading a story or historical event, have students "step inside" the mind of a character or figure. Next, they can write or record brief reflections from that person's perspective, describing their thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Using Creative Questions, students can brainstorm inquiry-based questions related to a class topic (e.g., "What would happen if...?" or "Why does this matter today?"). Post them on a question wall to inspire deeper research or writing projects.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The PBS LearningMedia interactive lesson "The Louisiana Purchase" offers educators a comprehensive resource to engage students in exploring the historical significance of the 1803 land acquisition. Through multimedia elements, including primary source documents, maps, and videos, students analyze the motivations behind the purchase, its constitutional implications, and its impact on the expansion of the United States. The lesson culminates in a written argument where students assess whether the Louisiana Purchase was a "most noble work." This resource fosters critical thinking and aligns with social studies curricula focusing on U.S. history and territorial expansion.

After the lesson, compare maps and discuss. Ask students to write a series of journal entries using Book Creator, reviewed here or paper from the perspective of someone living during 1803--such as a French citizen, an American settler, or a Native American--reacting to the Louisiana Purchase. Encourage empathy, creativity, and historical detail. Divide the class into two groups: one representing President Jefferson's supporters and one voicing constitutional concerns about the purchase. Students can debate whether Jefferson overstepped his presidential powers, citing evidence from the lesson.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
