How to incorporate Social Studies into your
reading curriculum.
One way to have students share current events is to
have them write a news limerick after reading the Weekly Reader or Time for
Kids. Here is an example of a news limerick that was created by me.
The price of corn is too high to feed a pig,
The restaurant has to buy it when the price is so big.
So the chef jacks the price
up and just starts makin'.
All the people won't cry cuz they love their -------------
Bacon!!!
This limerick was created in relationship with a report from Britain's National Pig Association that was published on September 20th about the warning of a global pork shortage for the up coming year. Having the students find a news report that they like and make up a limerick is a great way to mesh Social Studies into your reading curriculum.
