Elena Aguilar wrote an article discussing lesson plans being created to include Egyptian protests. Earlier this week my social studies began discussing Northern Africa. This of course is the home of Egypt. I decide this was a great moment to cover historical protests in the classroom. Teachers need to be flexible to be successful. Using current news in the classroom engages students, and more learning occurs when students are engaged. I try to use current events as much as I can into my classroom. It is really exciting to see a revolution taking place. I hope that the Egyptian people stay strong. Change can happen without war.
