Internet Geography has developed a series of guided Geography in the News homework activities that encourage wider reading around current affairs in geography. However, if you are looking for a more open-ended activity consider downloading our Geography in the News research template. The template encourages students to review the sources of information they find using the CRAAP analysis and provides support in identifying synoptic links.
