General Messages: As a social studies teacher I
would encourage all students to be aware of regional, national and international current events. I have
mentioned to all classes that I expect them to watch the news daily and/or to
read about events on the internet. I suggest CBC or CTV to get a Canadian
perspective, however, any news source would be helpful. I encourage parents and guardians
to discuss events with their children to enrich their understanding of the
larger world. |
