Current Events for Canadian Schools

About

What in the World? - Current Events for your students

What in the World? is a comprehensive unit that integrates current events with history, geography, personal planning, citizenship, and media awareness. The 'big-picture' approach to teaching current events makes what is happening in the world easier to understand, and more meaningful, interesting, and fun for students.

A fantastic tool to use to allow students to connect to the events of the world!
