Differentiated Current Events Menu with Depth and Complexity Icons
This Differentiated Current Events Choice Menu with Depth and Complexity Icons can be used with lessons on Current events in the classroom and for use in Interactive Student Notebooks. Students can also read current events at home and complete the activities as evidence of understanding in their ISN. The Depth and Complexity Icons help promote higher level thinking. This year I made Current Events Scrapbooks(basically a different type of ISN) for my students by binding 15 pieces of 12 x 18 in.

The best way to practice the Preamble is to download "We the People" from SchoolHouse Rock on iTunes, and play it several times for a couple weeks. The kids catch on quickly, and actually, it is how I memorized the Preamble to
