Have you ever encountered an extreme reaction from a learner when she was faced with an idea that didn’t match her preconceptions of a current affairs story?   We have.
This presentation will showcase some ideas of how to use current affairs through a variety of different forms of media to create a positive atmosphere of inclusion and integration in an academic focused classroom.  This panel will demonstrate how newspapers, online resources and other classroom current events materials can be implemented to ensure learners are able to effectively work together while broadening their understanding of Canada, Canadians and Canadian issues.
