Current Events Magazine On-line

Hi Class,

Here's how to access your CURRENT EVENT MAGAZINE from WEEKLY READER.

You can go to the links on the right side of this page and CLICK ON "WEEKLY READER". Or, you can type the following into your browser:

1) http://www.weeklyreader.com/you

2) In the menu at the top, click on "Secondary Resources"

3) Click on "Current Events" (note: this is the only magazine that we subscribe to, so if you click on the wrong magazine you will not have access to it.)

4) At this point you will see options for additional exercises that go with the most recent issue. If you don't have that magazine, you can CLICK ON:
"digital version HERE"

5) From there, you will see a sign-in page, go to "Students", where it says "Magic Word" type "bonnie".

It will take you to different Current Event Issues that you can look at, but go down to the bottom of the page where it says "Digital Editions" and click on the picture of the magazine.

Enjoy!
