The big question is the answer

Looking for a way to introduce a topic that covers the main points and controversies? The Independent’s Big Question is archived on the paper’s website.

The Independent’s ‘Big Question’ page is an excellent teaching resource. Through the week the Indy covers a topical issue in an accessible and easily digestible fashion. There is also an excellent graphic to go with it. With the online version you can upload the pictures, play around with them on a photo wizard and print them out to make stimulating classroom wall displays.

Here are a few sample political ones:

Ralph Nader

A written constitution for the UK

Livingstone as mayor

Scottish independence
