How are stories selected each week?
The editors of NewsCurrents are careful to only choose stories that have educational significance.The first question that is asked when selecting a story is “What can I teach with this story?” Stories that have no teaching value will not be included even if they are prominent in the mainstream media. On the other hand, we go out of our way to find interesting and important stories that may not be making big headlines, but provide a great opportunity to teach something meaningful that will relate to your required curriculum.
