The New York Times recently launched Student Opinion “to create a “safe space” on NYTimes.com – and on the Internet overall – for students 13 and older to voice their views on the news.”
You can read a much fuller explanation about the feature here.
I’m adding the links to The Best Places Where Students Can Write For An “Authentic Audience.”
What a great idea. It seems that nowadays so many young people just aren’t interested in the news. This seems like a great way to make it more relevant to them.
This is an excellence resource. Perhaps it could give students an opportunity to weigh in on school reform issues, too.
