Teaching ideas based around current news clips
Behind he News or (BTN) is an excellent program for students and teachers to learn about important news events around the globe.
Even though I have watched the program for a number of years I only recently came across BTN Archives which houses thousands of news clips relevant to kids. It has teaching resources and lesson plans attached to these areas.
The BTN archives would definitely provide multiple opportunities for teaching literacy and maths to students of all ages.
