this will only be of great importance to the year 5s, but I'm going to put up a list of commentary ideas. I'll keep adding to the list over time.
Make sure:
- Articles are recent - i.e. no earlier than the 6 months before the start of your IB
- Articles come from different sources
- You cover enough sections of the syllabus
If you've already used a particular source, try doing a Google News / Google search and you might well find a very similar article from somewhere else.
