    I wish I had found this page when I was teaching Economics my first year! It is rich with resources (readings, etc). You are able to choose the grade-level, the type of media, and the standard/topic you wish cover.

      I use this article to introduce students to the Black Famine in Ukraine. To get them interested, I always start by reading the letter from Zina to her Uncle. It elicits quite a reaction from the students, and they are always eager to find out more. You might have to trim this down, but it is a GREAT resource!
