Current Events For Teens

By Lucia Baker


Competition is everywhere and students have to keep themselves abreast with the latest events. It is difficult for students to excel in academics, extra-curricular and also be in tune with the latest events. Here's a simple way to keep oneself abreast of the current events, easily:

Most of them are blissfully unaware of the current situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. For most of them, Vietnam is the place where Sylvester Stallone was tortured in the first half of the Hollywood blockbuster, First Blood. About 60% of the teens participated in the study indicated that they are not interested in serious newspaper stories. But there are plenty of television programs and newspaper features intended for teens. Even on the internet, there are specialized websites that consider teenagers as their target audience. Let us consider some of the television programs and websites intended for children that provide both information and entertainment.

ABC News 4 Kids is a program aired on ABC Channel on every Tuesday and Thursday. In this program, news stories are presented in an interactive manner with the aid of animations. CNNfyi dot com provides study materials to students. The objective of this venture is to create awareness about current events among students.

Watch news: Watching news gives you an opportunity to be in tune with the latest events, happening around the globe. You need to segregate the new that is useful to you, from the ones which just happens. For example: an earthquake in japan is important, but a tree fall on a car is unimportant.

Brain Bowl is an interactive game based on current events. It is created by an organization called Learning Network and it is updated daily. The game is made interesting with several modes such as one-player mode, two-player mode, and kid-versus-parent mode. NewsCurrents is another website that encourages teenagers for several information-gathering activities. An organization called Knowledge Unlimited is running this website. The website also contains useful links for gathering information about current events.

What has happened in your culture and family that can be told in a way that is both entertaining and benefit driven? On the other hand, what research might you be doing now to investigate something that has affected the lives of others that can be told by you from the stage?

Check your knowledge: It is also important that you check if you actually retain the information which you see or read. Take up tests which involve questions on current events to check your knowledge.
