Current Events Worksheet and Schedule
Here is a current events worksheet I previously used in a senior government class but it can be adjusted for any class.
I also attached a sample schedule, just for reference.
I would usually have 2-3 kids go per day.
Monday was originally blank as I would use it as a make-up day for anyone gone the previous week as well as an opportunity to give them a topic for the week that their current event has to cover.
