FREE Current Event Lessons!!! (www.izzit.org)

Since it has been 11 days since my last post, I figured I had best step my game back up.  In my email yesterday, I came across a website that I have used before for free videos.  The website is www.izzit.org.  What caught my eye about the email was the following ...

Due to teacher feedback and our desire to offer more high-quality resources to as many teachers as possible, we have decided to begin offering access to our daily Current Events articles free of charge to all registered members of izzit.org beginning on Thursday, November 29, 2012.  

For the past 2 years we have charged $3.00 per year for a Current Events membership, but beginning next Thursday you will be able to utilize this resource by simply logging-in to your account at www.izzit.org and clicking “Current Events Lessons” in the left-hand column.  

We also offer daily emails which let you know about each day’s articles.  To begin receiving these daily emails, please visit the “My Account” section of our website and click on “Edit Account,” where you will be able to select the email address where you’d like to receive these. 

FREE CURRENT EVENT LESSONS!  They provide two lessons per day (which is awesome because you have options!).   Here is the format ...

1.  Key Vocabulary used in the article.

2.  Discussion questions to spark whole class discussions / collaborative group discussion / partner talking / individual writing prompts.

3.  Article with article link (Excellent to include literacy in your classroom).

I strongly suggest taking a moment to check out this resource ... as it is FREE!
