Resource - USA Today & project-based learning

USA Today newspaper offers complimentary educational resources including lessons and projects. Keep in mind that USA Today does offer some grants for classroom subscriptions.

One project that I recently read about is Improbable History. This four-week project is based on the 1960s cartoon, Improbable History. Students work in pairs and take a ride in the "Wayback Machine" trying to fix history so a current problem doesn't occur.

Information about this project can be found at
