August 28, 2009, Newsletter Issue #254: Newspaper Activities - Journals

Tip of the Week

Find articles about a person who lives in a different part of the country or world. Use the article as a springboard for a journal entry. Students can answer questions or complete sentences like these:
•If I lived in...
•When I change my name to...
•How is life different here than in (substitute name of place)?

Tie-in with geography and with social studies by having students do a mini-research project on that place.
