How I Use It
I created a classroom using TeenTribune in which my students would read and respond to articles, but I found that my students enjoyed it more when I printed out articles and we read and discussed them together. The cite is very organized and articles are arranged into categories. Articles are highly engaging and interesting to students.
My Take
TweenTribune offers high interest articles for all ages. Some articles are longer than others. This is a great tool to improve students' knowledge of the world around them and develop their reading skills.
