Using Junior Scholastic magazines to study current events within my social studies classroom can benefit my students in a variety of ways. Examining current events increases student exposure to environments and perspectives other than their own; covers a wide range of topics and connects concepts across content areas; builds language, vocabulary, reading comprehension, critical thinking, problem solving, oral expression, debate skills and listening skills; and encourages the development of well informed citizens and lifelong newsreaders. Studying current events also helps students understand the importance of people, events, and issues in the news. It stimulates students to explore and learn more about the news, and to pay attention to the news they see and hear outside of school. Examining current events also offers teachers the unique opportunity to have student led cooperative-group instruction, classroom discussions and debates, and facilitates purposeful follow-up journal writing.
