SUMMARY:GeoCircle: Ripped from the Headlines - Bringing Current Events into the Geography Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nJoin us for an organic discussion and resource sharing about teaching Current Events in our classrooms. We all know that daily events can end up in our discussion as soon as they happen. What tools do you use? Do you wait to prepare for the conversation? How do you structure the discussions? Bring all this and join the conversation! \nThe Facilitator\nJane Highley is a middle and high school social studies teacher at Devon Preparatory School in Devon\, Pennsylvania where she teaches AP U.S. Government\, AP Human Geography\, AP Comparative Government\, and 8th Grade Civics & Citizenship.
