This website was designed to keep current event assignments simple. Students can find both the worksheets and the links to the most important newspapers in every state. After a while, you will notice your students find newspapers less threatening; they should be able to learn how to navigate online newspapers. Printed versions of newspapers are becoming more obsolete each day.

This is a sample of an assignment based on a nine-week calendar. Feel free to create your own, modify, adapt, etc. We recommend that you become familiar with worksheets first. Then, select the ones that better support your instruction and course objectives. At the beginning of the grading period, provide students with a calendar similar to this. They should be able to navigate this site and find worksheets and links to newspapers. A demonstration is always recommended.
