Now that students have reached high school, they are ready to understand their world more deeply. Every week, explore the latest Geography News Network article with your students. We tackle current events, but unlike online news sources, GNN is written for students, not adults, to fully explain what they need to understand. We also reach into the past to ensure students have familiarity with key events, to examine them with their growing perspectives. People too, in the form of biographies, are important for high school students to learn about as they expand their world. Some of our biographies discuss people with whom students are already familiar, while others introduce less famous individuals who deserve recognition. Sometimes, our biographies take us to the world of sports, literature, artists, musicians, and more. Science, too, is a topic that students need to understand better as the world is affected by climate change, for example. Innovations in science are also frequent topics of GNN. Every week, check Maps101 and bring the world, past and present, to your students. The most recent GNN focuses on Hispanic Heritage Month. Link to it below.
