Do You Need Help With Current Events?
Has your kid been assigned Current Events yet? Well, if they are in 4th or 5th grade either they have gotten the assignment or it’s probably on the way. I assign Current Events every Monday and it’s due on Friday. We spend time quietly reading each other’s writing and then talking about a few of them in depth. Everyone looks forward to it, both students and teachers alike. It’s always leads to a lively discussion.
To make the process of finding an article and writing about it easier, click on either my Current Events Guidelines and/or a Current Event Outline. The guideline provides the structure on what to do and the outline is a graphic organizer that helps kids organzie their actual writing.
Good luck!
