HALB Current Events project

HALB Middle School girls had a culminating event for their semester-long current events class: a news show, initiated and planned entirely by the students themselves. Staged in the auditorium, these students shared their understanding of today’s top international, national, and local stories for their counterparts in each grade who will participate in this semester-long course immediately following winter vacation.

Taught by Mrs. Wein, this course provided students with the tools to better understand how news is disseminated; what constitutes reliable news sources; the structure of the newspaper, the front page and news articles; how news is covered; and how we can become better consumers of news. Mrs. Wein is impressed by the students’ progress in digesting and processing news articles as well as their growth in articulating their thoughts and ideas surrounding current events. The news show showcased so many 21st-century “C” skills that HALB girls are proud to hone: critical thinking, curiosity, choice, collaboration, communication, creativity, and cultural, global, and environmental awareness.
