Summer News

Segue from the summer into the new school year by having students consider the summer's news, its impact on their communities, and what kind of impact they'd like to have in their communities.

Students consider the term "Ubuntu," and the ways in which we are all connected, then discuss some of the news this summer (via tweets), and how these events affect us.

In small groups, students read about and discuss some of the summer's news, including on climate change, elections, the Iran nuclear deal, and more.

Help students catch up on what’s been happening in the news  -  from the presidential campaign, to Colin Kaepernick's protest, to Brexit  -  with this fun quiz and discussion questions.
