My students had a hard time choosing a story that they found most interesting today. One story had an error and it was a very interesting discussion about that. It was the story about the Bowie game and the story said one thing, and the story under the picture said another thing. The kids were able to talk about the importance of double checking the facts. This is something we encourage our students to pay attention to, and it is nice that they were able to come to the same conclusion by themselves.
Our Editorial was The spooky side of free speech. It was perfect timing, I just finished a unit on the freedoms that kids have on our campus, especially the freedom of speech. The article brought up a very important question, we have the right to our freedom of speech, but sometimes it is used in manners that are not OK. It was also an interesting discussion in the midst of all of the political news, to look at it from another focus. Have a wonderful weekend.
