Crosswords are good for encouraging neat handwriting and literacy. These crosswords are good for encouraging research on current world events. More than that, these crosswords will encourage discussions about the stories behind the news events, for example... almost 30,000 weapons were handed in in Australia during an amnesty. A German gun manufacturer promised not to sell weapons into war zones and to corrupt governments. And the UK arms manufacturers reported record profits from soaring sales. The UK government condemned North Korea's missile programme.
Irma, Kim Jong-un, and Aung San Suu Kyi... Why was so much news time devoted to a hurricane when an entire ethnic group were being persecuted by the Myanmar military?
Previously extinct tigers in Kazakhstan, plastic in the ocean and now in the food chain, and three mega-hurricanes. Are these related?
Six farmers in the Amazon were murdered by gangs who want to steal the land to farm palm oil. What's palm oil used for?
An artist who donated some of (but not all?) of his prize money because the competition was sponsored by BP (er, why did he enter?)
Bad behaviour by German football fans in Prague and 50,000 people protested in London against Brexit.
