Description

Class Experience

The news we see daily often has a connection to a country’s or region’s history and culture and each news agency reports it slightly different. 

This class will encourage the student to see connections and to be critical of the news they encounter. 

The first class will be information and instructions on how the class will be conducted. 

Every week 3 students are in charge of finding news to bring to class. The news should be of consequence for many, for example; environmental issues,...

To analyze news and see connections to history, culture and develop critical thinking.

Part of my masters degree is in political science and a large part of the Swedish curriculum is to inspire critical thinking.

To search for news to present in class and to read the news posted in the classroom before each class.

Two pages with instructions about how to find news and create a summary for the other students.

1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

Please be aware that the news might include sensitive material (violence, racism, politics)
