Are you trying to encourage your children to be aware of the world around them? Current events are a fantastic way to explore the world we live in! It encourages us to visit the countries and its peoples where these events are occurring. One of our family's favorite pastimes is discussing news events and checking the map to see where it happened or is happening!
A great site for current events, or past events as the site hasn't been updated for some time, is Literacy Works. They have a lively collection of online interactive lessons using past CNN news stories, that have been edited for students in Grades 6-12. The interactive lessons, for each news story, includes curriculum exercises that test the comprehension of the reported current events! You can choose to read the text, listen to the text, or view a short video clip of the story. Each module is designed for ease of use so the learner can use it independently.
Have you ever watched the 'Biography Channel' from A & E ? Did you know they have a 'Bio Classroom'? It's full of lessons and activities to accompany past shows! Many created just for kids! And if your kids like watching Nickelodeon, don't miss Nick News with Linda Ellerbee and Maniac Magee ! Afterwards, you can visit Nickelodeon's Teacher site for lessons and activities to encourage further comprehension!
