Why use newspapers in education?
- It's an adult medium. Students enjoy a feeling of importance when working with the newspaper.
- It bridges the gap between the classroom and the "real world" outside. Motivation for reading and discussion is built in.
- It contains something for every student -- comics, sports, editorials, advice columns, and much more.
- It is the only up-to-date text there is.
- It contains history as it happens.
