Most of us get the majority of our news online. This book features three common ways to get “Online News:” Online Newspapers, News Alerts, and News Websites. Students will learn the best places to get the type of news that interests them. As well as the best news format.
The Online Newspapers section features realistic pages from a variety of online newspapers. Students will get familiarized with a weather report page, learn how to read their horoscope, get cooking tips from a food column, and personal advice from a teen advice column. They can read articles about sports, the latest technology, movies and movie stars, plus what happened on “This Day in History.”
The News Alerts section shows some of the types of alerts we can get on our phones. Depending on your interests, you can get short, “teaser” bits of information about the latest in sports, weather, business, and national news.
News Websites often feature daily updates on specific kinds of news. Are you interested in national news, sports, fashion, gaming, travel, diet and exercise? There is a website for that!
Follow-up questions ask students to find relevant facts, locate and analyze information, think about that information and then form an opinion.
