%X Teachers often desire meaningful classroom discussions, but frequently shy away from introducing controversial topics. An instructional activity ¡°Where Do You Stand?¡± was developed and used regularly with the goal of engaging students in discussion around politicized and divisive issues. Over 3 years of use in a secondary social studies classroom, benefits of fostering democratic citizenship and engaging a range of multiple intelligences were observed. Beyond social studies, there are viable adaptations for use across content areas, in multiple forms, and recommendations to maximize the observed benefits. ¡°Where Do You Stand?¡± offers teachers an opportunity to invite learners into critically important conversations
