WHAT'S NIE?
Why use newspapers in education?
*Newspapers are an adult medium. Students enjoy a feeling of importance when working with the newspaper.
*Newspapers bridge the gap between the classroom and the "real" world outside. Motivation for reading and discussion is built in.
*Newspapers contain something for every student--comics, sports, editorials, advice columns, and much more!
*Newspapers provide the only up-to-date text available in print
*Newspapers contain history as it happens
