Integrate News into IB & TOK Lessons Quickly & Easily

Looking for quick and easy ways to integrate the IB Learner Profile?

Looking for articles related to TOK?

A friend recently told me about an amazing news website:

The Day

Click through articles related to all ten areas of the Learner Profile. So easy to pull out information to share with students, or to plan an activity around with your class. 

The TOK section is also excellent, it features main areas of knowledge to help start conversations around inquiry. 

Each article features questions to get you thinking, activity ideas, what others comments are, a few questions with answers to engage deeper thinking, key vocabulary words to learn more about, and links to other articles on related topics.  

They also make it easy to check what subjects each article would be most appropriate for, easy to download it as a PDF, or share through social media.

Notice the pop up at the top when you first check out an article (image below). It is a paid service. But with a 14 day free trial, you can make sure that this is what you want. 

Pricing is not unreasonable.
