Scholastic Scope will give my students an opportunity to stay up to date on relevant news and information while continuing to grow their reading, communication, and social skills. With these articles, my students will learn about the world around them. These articles provide engaging and relevant readings for students who struggle to read or don't enjoy reading. My goal is to get my students excited about learning from world events to build global citizenship. I want to broaden their world view and show them that there is so much more going on beyond their community that can have an effect on them and their future. In my class, I want my students to learn to be active participants in conversations revolving around world events and key moments and decisions that can shape their future.
