International NewsDay
Funded
in part by Robert H. Michel Civic Education Grants
Students become involved in international affairs as they create their own newspaper based on articles by global student correspondents.
Have your students ever
created a newspaper of their own? Would they like to? In the
Newsday Project, students write articles and post them for the
whole world to see! Then they read and choose articles from
other schools to download and include in their own newspaper!
Students' reading and writing skills will improve while they
learn about current local, national, and global issues. Newsday currently takes place twice
each year.
