In order to find an older article that was posted more than a week ago, you must log in to your izzit.org account. Then, you must:

1. Click the "Current Events" tab in the header.
2. Click the "Current Events Archive" button at the bottom of the page.
3. Search the article by the title, date published, or publisher.

Some of our older articles may not have a link to the source article. In that case, we recommend you open a search engine and search using the title of the article you're seeking.

At the top of the lesson page, you'll find two large buttons that say Print Article and Print Questions.

Our Current Events discussion questions, along with a link to the original source of the article, are archived for one year from the posting date. If you might want to use a lesson in the future, we recommend you print it or otherwise save it.

Articles are posted for one week due to copyright laws. After that, you can find the discussion questions on our Current Events Archive, along with a link to the original source of the article.

Just click Here. A reset email will be sent to your email address. Follow the instructions to reset your password. If you don't receive the email, please call us at 888-242-0563 any weekday from 8am–6pm EST. The email may have been blocked.

In most cases, articles can be retrieved by doing a web search for the title of the article. Simply copy the title of the article found on our Current Events Archive and paste it in your search browser. If you need assistance, please email [email protected].

We recommend usage for grades 6–12, with teacher modifications for their students' ability levels. We cannot tailor articles more specifically for each grade because of the resources required to do so. We offer two articles each day to provide teachers with options regarding topics, length of articles, and varying lengths and reading levels.

Discussion Mode shows discussion questions one at a time on screen–perfect for projecting during class.

Teaching Mode enlarges the article text and discussion questions for easier classroom use.

We do not provide answers to the discussion questions. Factual questions are answered within the articles themselves. Other questions are open-ended questions designed to promote healthy discussion and debate within your classroom. As such, there are no "right" or "wrong" answers.
