Lots Of Political Drama At G7 https://teachingkidsnews.com/2018/06/10/lots-of-political-drama-at-g7/ https://teachingkidsnews.com/2018/06/10/lots-of-political-drama-at-g7/#comments Mon, 11 Jun 2018 03:30:51 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=17063 A lot happened at the G7 summit this year.

The G7 (the G stands for "group") is made up of seven of the world's wealthiest countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The leaders of these countries, plus representatives for the European Union, get together every year. That meeting is called a summit. Every summit is held at a different G7 country; this year, it was held in Quebec, Canada.

At the summit, the leaders talk about issues that affect them all. This year, Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said he wanted to discuss: strengthening the middle class, supporting women's equality and ensuring that more girls can access education, dealing with global warming and promoting respect for diversity.

Some very good things happened at the G7 summit this year. For instance, the leaders agreed to give nearly $3 billion to help women and girls access education. That pledge received praise from many people, including activist Malala Yousafzai, who said, the money will "give more girls hope."

“Fake News” Is Hard For Kids To Spot https://teachingkidsnews.com/2017/01/08/fake-news-hard-kids-spot/ https://teachingkidsnews.com/2017/01/08/fake-news-hard-kids-spot/#comments Mon, 09 Jan 2017 01:50:59 +0000 https://teachingkidsnews.com/?p=15897 There is a lot of "fake news" on the Internet. A new study shows that many young people in the United States have a hard time telling "real" from "fake" news.
Fake news is exactly what it sounds like. It's an article that may look just like any other news article--except that it's not true. Unfortunately, many people can't tell the difference.
