Celebrate American Newspaper Week!

Young Americans today know less and care less about what's going on in the world than young Americans of previous generations did. Those were the conclusions presented in a 1995 report from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press.The results of that survey make a strong case for including current events in the classroom on a regular basis.

If you're looking to make a case for current events in the classroom -- of if you're looking for activities with which to teach current events -- don't miss the following article:

Strategies That Work: Teaching About Current Events
The statistics we read about students' awareness of world events are frightening. If students are to be more aware of the world in which we live, every teacher must play a role in building students' current-events knowledge. A strong current events program can also teach essential skills related to writing, geography, and history.
