Shabbi Luthra"This safe site, written for kids, by kids, offers news from a younger point-of-view. Written in easy-to-read language, students will enjoy reading each article. Some of the articles include short video clips. Students may leave brief comments about each article (no login required). All content is approved by an adult editor before being posted. Some difficult words are defined through an integrated dictionary. A map mash-up provides information about geographical context. For intriguing new websites that are kid-friendly, click on the Sites link at the top of the page. Click on Earth to see a 3-dimensional Earth rotating in real geo time, where students can click on articles from around the globe.
In the Classroom:
Use articles for current events. For a writing assignment, have students study the way these articles were written, then practice writing a similar article about a school or community event. Create a class magazine from the articles. Or better yet, have students create a multimedia presentation using Voicethread. This site allows users to narrate a picture. Challenge students to find a photo (legally permitted to be reproduced), and then narrate the photo as if it is a news report. Strengthen reading comprehension by having an ‘article du jour’ on your projector as students arrive." -
