Challenge
Prepare diverse resources and questions for teaching current events, offering varied perspectives and prompting critical analysis. Utilize different question types and frameworks like Bloom's taxonomy or Socratic questioning to guide inquiry effectively.
Test them using tools like class markers to help them assess their logical, non-verbal reasoning, and comprehension skills.

Curate
The second step is to choose topics that are timely, interesting, and connected to the concepts and skills we want to foster.
