NIE Week 2008
Connect to the World With Newspapers!
Newspaper In Education Week 2008, March 3-7, reinforces a positive and relevant lifetime reading habit in students by engaging them with an authentic text – the newspaper.
This year's theme is "Connect to the World With Newspapers." The NAA Foundation has created a teacher's guide and in-paper ads for NIE Week. Everything can be downloaded right here, right now, free of charge.
Activities in the teacher's guide are designed to help middle-school and high-school students improve their reading comprehension by making connections to self, to the world and to text through newspaper activities. The newspaper is the perfect resource for helping students make these connections because it matches their prior knowledge, interests and experiences.
The 62-page guide features 14 lesson plans, each with a student activity sheet. Also included in the guide are 14 elementary-level pages for younger students. They parallel the lesson plans and activities in the guide and focus on local and community news.
