Indeed, TV news and the Internet aside, those famous words spoken by humorist Will Rogers ring truer today than ever. Rogers wouldn't recognize the newspaper of the 1990s - the variety of news it offers; the abundance of photos; the text peppered with charts, graphs, and maps. Today more than ever, the newspaper is a source for all one needs to know. And, more than ever, teachers recognize the usefulness and importance of "using the news" and of developing students who have good newsreading skills and an awareness of current events. Among the benefits students often cite, "current events" programs

Half-days in Durham

When George Watts Hill discovered his daughter had a learning disability, the philanthropist and businessman decided to do something for her and for the millions of children similarly afflicted. With his own money, he founded the Hill Center, where his daughter and others could receive a specialized education to learn how to deal with their disabilities and excel in school. Until the Hill Center was founded in 1977, children with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorder had few options in Durham—basically, they could attend one of the expensive boarding schools in the northeast or stick it out in a public school system that was clueless as to how to teach them. With a specialized curriculum, the Hill Center has educated over 1,000 students in 70 schools from seven North Carolina counties over the last 24 years. Students now attend the Hill Center for half of their school day, then spend the rest of the day in regular classes at their local school. Hill Center teachers use what they call “multi-sensory structured teaching.” This individualized, intensive remediation program assesses a student’s skill level, identifies deficiencies, and focuses on those areas in an attempt to bring children up to grade level. Teachers at the Hill Center—all of whom have a master’s degree or better and extensive experience in teaching learning disabled children—emphasize techniques such as systematic language, phonics, and study skills.

Left and right agree on the need to teach the poor how to save, manage, and make money.
By Michael Hartmann I knew nothing of, like, the stock markethow it works, what it does," Emily Suarez Del Real says. Nonetheless, the then-sophomore at Milwaukee's Alexander Hamilton High School wrote an essay about why the stock market was important. It was judged among the 30 best such essays submitted in 2001 by Milwaukee Public Schools students, and she was sent to that summer's Youth Enterprise Academy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The Academy's ten-day program teaches students about personal finance and then engages them in activities stressing the benefits of saving, maintaining good credit, and investing well. Supported by public and private funding, it was developed by the Wisconsin Council on Economic Education and UW-Milwaukee's Center on Economic Education, using materials from the National Council on Economic Education (NCEE). "We had 'fake stocks,'" Suarez Del Real explains. Throughout the course, students were also taught economics in general. Those who successfully complete the program each receive a $500 U.S. Savings Bond, and each summer's top five studentsSuarez Del Real was oneare invited to form their own Youth Enterprise Investment Club that manages a genuine portfolio initially worth $10,000.

These documents cover fields as diverse as science, rhetoric, and journalism, as well as the social studies. edrs@inet.ed.gov dkelly@indiana.edu General Discussion Social Studies Journal 26 (Spring 1997): 26-35. Creany maintains that historical fiction provides children with the opportunity to vicariously live the events of the past, learn about their heritage, and develop a sense of the sweep of history. She recommends several books covering different historical periods and includes related instructional activities. Social Studies and the Young Learner 5 (January-February 1993): 19-22. The use of historical novels in the elementary curriculum is becoming increasingly popular. To support this trend, the authors provide a four-step process that guides instruction using novels.

I should explain that it's a local magazine that will come out each Thursday - it's the same size as the local weekly newspaper and in fact looks very similar, but it doesn't carry news and it doesn't report on events as they happen. I think this is the important difference. You can buy it in all the usual places you would buy your local newspaper. The magazine itself is divided into two main parts; the first half is a 'what's on' guide which contains information about everything that's happening in the city over a seven-day period. There are music and film reviews, and information about special events, so you can decide what's worth spending your time on. And it's also got local bus timetables and useful phone numbers.

Teach Your Daughters Well BY SONYA FRIEDMAN Illustration by Sarah Wilkins
If there's one lesson every mother should impart to her daughter, it's surely this: To thine own self be true. Sitting around the deck of a luxury cruise ship last spring, my seven longtime friends and I celebrated our coming-of-age. As we relaxed by the ship's pool and caught the last rays of the Mediterranean sun, discussion turned to what our mothers had told us about life and love. "What words of wisdom did your mother give you?" I asked each woman in turn. The silence was stunning. "Can I get back to you on that?" Leslie inquired. "My mother never told me anything," said Janet. "I guess I just watched the way she lived her life." Given my profession, I goaded them to be more specific. Bits of folk wisdom began to emerge. "In case you're in an accident, always wear clean underwear." "Put away a little money for yourself you never know when you might need it." Some remembered their mothers warning them about men who "just wanted one thing." But for most of us, the messages were another kind of warning: Find yourself a man as quickly as you can and get married. And then? A woman needs to give 80 percent, and a man, 20 percent, to make a marriage work. And then? If something went wrong, it was the woman's fault. She had failed, not he. In the main, the information was restrictive and reactive, intended by mothers to protect their daughters from life's events.

Rights and Responsibilities in History
National History Day Curriculum Book 2003
Teaching about Rights and Responsibilities in History
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." These words written by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of the Independence have inspired countless millions of people to fight for their rights. Despite their lofty words, Jefferson and the other Founding Fathers did not believe in unbridled democracy. Being a citizen, they believed, demanded the acceptance of certain responsibilities. They considered some people dependents, women, slaves, and the poor incapable of bearing those responsibilities. Today, as in revolutionary America, rights and responsibilities go hand in hand. The right to vote, for example, implies the obligation to familiarize oneself with the candidates and vote conscientiously. The right of the accused to a fair trial means a corresponding responsibility by the jury to judge the evidence impartially and conscientiously. The right of children to food and shelter means someone-whether by their families, governments, or others-is responsible for providing that food and shelter. Teaching about rights and responsibilities requires an appreciation of these complex relationships, of causes and consequences, of different perspectives.
