Teaching about current events is a way for our middle school students to learn what is going on in the outside world. However, in this age of social media and electronic news, it is sometimes difficult for these young adolescents to disseminate what is real news and what is "fake news". Due to this, some educators are shying away from teaching current events to their students. This blog post from Edutopia challenges that idea and gives some suggestions on how to tackle this issue of negative news in an age-appropriate way.
