May 9th......Europe Day. What did you do to celebrate? Me, I broke out my favorite outfit, had myself a nice baguette, reminisced about my favorite city and listened to one of my favorite albums. To top it all off I also watched a little football on the telly.I do love Europe. The countries, the people, the automobiles, the movies, the food, the scenery, the architecture, the castles. Drop me off in just about any European country and I will be good to go for months.
Luckily for you the European Union is mentioned in the high school standards (SSEIN2 d). A terrific website for everything EU can be found right here. Go ahead, dig around. I guarantee you will find everything you will need, and a whole lot more, to teach your students about the European Union. Go now as there are plenty of great "current event" stories coming out of Europe as we speak.
