Funded May 31, 2023This subscription to UPFRONT magazine is helping my students understand events happening around the world, in real time. We are using the magazine to have current events assignments on a bi-weekly to weekly basis.
This helps our students understand the meaning behind learning about past World history and connecting it to present world events. The only down side, is that for my newcomer students (first language, Spanish, learners), I must translate the articles.
We have so far used two editions, and plan to use them more and more, to get students into reading a little more, and understanding the world around us - and the future they are entering, after high school.
I have also shared with one of our science teachers, as articles on climate change will be valuable for her environmental studies class, too!”
With gratitude,
