FOR TEACHERS

Every month members receive ten adapted news articles, each paired with discussion questions, a creative task, and extension activities for more confident learners.

Every article is linked to relevant subject areas, so you can slot individual stories into existing units or use them as standalone lessons. The articles are designed to be accessible to students aged 11 to 14, but the questions are deliberately open-ended and challenging. There are no right answers. The goal is discussion, not conclusions.

Each story also connects to one or more of twelve key concepts which build a shared language for thinking across the whole resource.

You do not need to use every element of every article. Pick what works for your class, your subject, and your time.

FOR STUDENTS

The stories in this resource are real. They come from newspapers, magazines, and broadcasts from around the world, and they cover things that are actually happening right now. They have been rewritten so they are easier to read, but the ideas inside them have not been simplified, because the world is not simple.

The questions attached to each story do not have easy answers, and that is the point. You are not being asked to find the right answer. You are being asked to think carefully, listen to other people's views, and be willing to change your mind when you hear a good argument. That is what critical thinking looks like, and it is one of the most important skills you will ever develop.
