About
Behind the News is an educational news program for kids. It explains news and current affairs to young people in a dynamic and creative way. BtN unpacks the currents issues and presents them in ways in which children can understand. BtN uses role-plays, graphics, popular music and engaging images to tell the stories. A range of opinions are presented so students gain a greater awareness of differing points of view, attitudes and values. Through watching BtN, students increase their understanding of complex political, economic, environmental and social issues. The Behind the News website has a range of resources to support teachers to use BtN in the classroom. The weekly teacher resources include discussion questions for all BtN stories, two in-depth activities and relevant web links for teachers and students. The in-depth activities are linked to the Australian Curriculum. Teacher resources can be found at www.abc.net.au/btn/teachers.htm
