Description
Challenge students to follow current events and discover PEGS (Political, Economic, Geographic, Social) factors in the news. They watch or read the news, identify examples of stories that represent each PEGS factor, summarize the main ideas, then justify their decisions. Includes links to websites and a PEGS reference chart for interactive notebooks. This activity can be assigned regularly throughout the year, so students stay informed & connect the real world to your classroom.
Social Studies curriculum changes focus, sometimes drastically, from year to year. The PEGS factors are common themes that unite all SS classes. Similar ideas are taught as PESTLE, STEEP, or PEST. Building a strong foundation with these concepts leads to vertical alignment across grade levels. Use PEGS resources all-year to enrich your curriculum!
