Great for Last Minute Sub

Breaking News English is a great free resource for connecting current events news with reading comprehension skills.  It contains interesting articles on current events and then has pages of activities that can accompany that article.  I will say that most of these are more of your read and recall and don't require the deeper thought that the common core expects but it does make for a last minute lesson for a sub as you can just pick and chose from the many activities that go with each article.  It would be great if in the future there could be more activities or lessons directly related to the common core that go with each article.
