The monthly current events unit for Canadian classrooms

Keeping up with current events is hard enough. Incorporating them into meaningful lessons is harder still. Fortunately, there is a group of teachers willing to do the work for you...

"What in the World?" brings the news to our doorstep, and that is something, considering our doorstep is the Arctic Ocean.
