Class experience
In this ongoing course, learners will become informed global citizens by learning about and discussing the world's top stories for the week. We will discuss a trending news story each week that made headlines around the world. This may mean that it was a major news story in one country in particular, or a major news story that was trending in multiple countries. Stories can range from exciting finds in science to humanitarian efforts to global concerns and more. The class will always begin...
Students will be able to understand and retell a news story from an objective viewpoint. Students will be able to relate the news story to the context of its happenings and be able to explain its importance on a global scale.
I have been teaching social studies in a brick and mortar classroom for 5 years. We use current events each day in our lessons and discuss how to approach the news from an unbiased viewpoint. We discuss the importance of knowing what is happening in the world and how we can make a difference.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Some topics may be sensitive for your learner, depending on the news of the week. We will always approach topics from a reporting viewpoint, and not from an emotional one because the purpose of the class is to help develop well- informed global citizens. We will also be using articles from various viewpoints but will never use just one (meaning for one story we may use a news report that is typically left- leaning but we will also use a right- leaning and/ or a middle- ground report). We will never cover anything severely graphic, such as kidnappings, war, or homicide.
We will be using various news sources, both in print and in film, with our course. This news groups and stories will change depending on the week.
