Current Event
Many, many crazy things have been happening lately.
The event that I've chosen has to deal with something that is going on right in Mississippi. A envelope filled with the substance Ricin was sent to President Obama and also the Senator of Mississippi, Roger Wicker. They found a suspect which is a man from Corinth, MS.
This is a great teaching moment because it allows you do apply it to the classroom by allowing the students to do some kind of research of what exactly is ricin. (I myself had to look this up- Here's a link: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/16/health/what-is-ricin ) There are many different ways you could go with this type of current event.
