What educators are saying
Description
Are you wondering where to start when teaching your middle and high school students about world current events and currents in the US government? This choice-based research project and presentation will give you and your students step-by-step directions. There are checkpoints so you can assign mini due dates throughout the assignment. Also included is an entire example presentation to help students visualize how they will be putting together their research.
I use this in my special education classroom, but it's also structured to use in the general education classroom. I use it as a quarter-long project that I can assign to students who finish work early. Once I get students started on the project, I can use it for my substitute plans for the quarter. Use this current events assignment to help students become interested in the world around them!
