Media Literacy in Science

My students need a classroom subscription to Current Science Magazine.

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I am a high school science teacher in North Carolina who wishes to move his students into the 21st century with the skills necessary to become lifelong learners in the global environment.

All too often information presented in textbooks can be less than exciting to students and can even be out dated by the time the textbooks reach the students hands. The articles presented in Current Science are more in the style of those published in popular magazines and newspapers with the student audience in mind. Our students are practiced at reading literary materials such as stories from their English classes, however they need practice in the skills necessary to comprehend the type of material found in factual writings such as newspapers and magazines. These skills are extremely important in keeping up to date with advances in science, medicine and many other topics in todays media rich world.

I would like to supplement our classroom instruction with a subscription to Current Science Magazine. The topics presented are up to date and written in a style that makes them relevant to the student audience. The magazine has a long reputation for presenting accurate information from all disciplines of science and can be used with my biology classes as well as physical science.

Your contribution will help to empower my students to become critical readers and to gain practice in a skill that they can carry with them into productive, informed futures.
