Topical Talk provides teachers with free teaching resources for weekly classroom discussions on current affairs. The activities help make the news accessible and engaging for learners aged 10–16. They are created by a team of teachers in collaboration with journalists and fact-checkers at The Economist.
Designing these educational resources is challenging due to the timely subject matter and a rigorous editorial process. I contribute to the development of worksheets, presentations, and any supporting digital materials.
I create videos and animations to accompany the educational resources and support the lessons. Here is an example taken from The Big Mac Index lesson.
