Free Sample Lessons

Visions of Exploration lessons are designed to enhance students’ reading, writing and comprehension skills, while introducing them to topics in science, technology, engineering and math. Each contains a recent article found in USA TODAY along with discussion questions and an activity. The lessons prepare students for the world beyond the classroom and inspire them to become explorers.

I love being a part of this program and appreciate the fact that it is offered. So many of my kids have no news resources other than USA TODAY on Wednesdays, and it gives us a chance to discuss them. I not only use it for improving reading and comprehension but also to give my students an opportunity to express their opinions freely. I get to know them better this way.
