This is the way our fifth grade team does Current Events Friday. We assign half of the class to goup A and the other half to group B. We give the class a schedule telling them when Group A's article and summary are due and when Group B's are due. On that Friday, the students for that week bring in a Current Events article that they read in any newspaper or magazine. We encourage them to try to find something that relates to something we are studying in school (though not always necessary). The students bring in their summary of the article as well as two sentences stating why they chose the article and how it related to school. Each group is scheduled every other week (except when we have a short week or holiday). They enjoyed these and we made sure they did a good job with the summaries during the first few weeks of school. This is the way we did CUrrent Events Friday and we found it easy to manage and valuable to all of the students. They were always so eager to share them during morning meeting on Friday mornings. Good luck and hopefully this was helpful to you in some way! God bless
