Agenda
Why is it important for Ss to discuss current events in school?
Where and how do you find resources that are age/grade/content & reading level appropriate for your Ss?
What are some innovative ways you incorporate current events into your lessons? How can you generate Ss interest and enthusiasm for current events?
What are some things to be careful about when talking about current events with students?
- What benefits do you observe? Are Ss more globally aware? More compassionate? Make better connections?
