Twitter has helped me again.
I found a blog post about using current events to create real world learning, and that is one of the highest goals of 21st Century Teaching and Learning, and in our division, Compass to 2015.
The blog also includes links to other resources that help us to go beyond our classroom walls to engage our students.
Please read this blog, and let me know if you want help creating a lesson like this.
Ripped from the Headlines: How to Turn Current Events into Real-World Projects
I leave you with this quote that I found in a friend's email signature:
"Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look
at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters
and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think,
and to think is the beginning of a real education. "
