I want to thank you for suggesting the use of USA TODAY in our classrooms. From the first day of class many of my students have been carrying and reading the paper, even without my prompting.
On several occassions I have used the Experience Today lesson plans available on the Internet. Each time I have used the prepared lessons I found them to be clear, concise and easy to use. The discussion questions really help my students see to the heart of the news story and encourages them to form their own opinions and comments.
I especially like the early availability of the Experience Today lesson plans. Being able to pull up the lesson plans the day before the newspaper is printed is a great convenience and a time saver!
Thank you for the encouragement and quality of USA TODAY. It has become a positive and healthy addiction for students!
