Teaching with Breaking News

It can be a fun way to build community in the classroom, and it provides a variety of interesting informational content that can be used as the basis for many different kinds of lessons and projects.
In addition to the news itself, Breaking News offers interactive features such as polls, games and a “Read to Me” feature.

Helping students learn about local events, crime and other important news is essential for strengthening American democracy in the 21st century. However, in today’s fractured media environment, there are fewer reliable sources of local news available.
It’s important for students to learn about the local and regional news stories that impact their communities, as these news events can have a direct influence on their everyday lives. When students have access to the local, regional and national news stories they need to know about, it can be a powerful way to foster discussion and debate, and help them to make informed decisions about their daily lives.
The news in local communities is often based on community concerns and needs. Whether it’s crime, school issues, transportation or other local matters, it’s important for students to be aware of these issues so that they can make informed choices about their daily lives.
With the right information, students can make educated decisions about their communities, their families and their futures. They can be a valuable partner to their parents, educators and other local leaders in shaping the city they live in.
