The Learning Network

The New York Times Learning Network is one of my favorite sites- I always try the news quiz.  This site is geared to teenagers with many opportunities for teens to comment.  It also contains topic lesson plans, word of the day, and various skills. Sign up for their newsletter and never miss an issue.

Looking at the world

Global Post is a site geared for grades 6-12 to help them read about current events. You can 
search from a toolbar or look at themes. From the review in TeachersFirst, you might want to review the content before sharing with your students.  For the complete post, please click here.
