Glencoe Partners With TIME!

To the Teacher:

In an ongoing effort to keep you and your students up to date on the complex and far-reaching events that are unfolding around the globe, Glencoe/McGraw-Hill provides this current events update twice a year.

Produced through a co-publishing relationship between Glencoe/McGraw-Hill and TIME Learning Ventures, the TIME/Glencoe Current Events Update Spring 2004 brings the latest information about important happenings, issues, and trends to your students in the vivid and compelling style for which TIME is renowned. On the following pages, you'll find news reports, feature stories, chronologies, maps, graphs, charts and poll data taken exclusively from recent issues of TIME. Accompanying these articles are questions and worksheets to help students analyze and investigate the topics about which they have been reading. We hope the TIME/Glencoe Current Events Update Spring 2004 will lead your students to a deeper understanding of the latest developments in the United States and abroad.
