As a child, I remember sitting at the dinner table while the evening news was on the television and listening as my parents discuss the news and other current events. Very few students experience a similar situation in this current generation.

There is nothing wrong with this dynamic, but it is still important for students to be exposed to what is going on in the world around them. I believe knowing about current world and national news builds students that are more self-aware, opinionated, and well-rounded.

Below you will see a list of news articles I have used in my classroom. Articles posted at the top are the most recent.
