Goal

The goal of this grant is to provide students with the opportunity to read about current events and other issues happening in our nation and the world. This magazine supports and compliments our School-wide reading and writing goals. 

 

What will be done with my students

On a weekly/monthly basis students be reading different stories, fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, about the world around them. Many of the articles lend itself for research and debate on topics presented. Students will be asked to conduct research and find out more about different issues, take a position, and inform peers. This will occur through projects, presentations, debates, and a multitude of writing response activities that are aligned specifically to 6th grade students and their curriculum.
 

 

Benefits to my students

In our digital world children are not exposed to printed news, as in the past. Sixth graders at CMS will have the ability to hold the text, see photographs, and read articles from a peer's point of view on a variety of topics that connect to science, social studies, and social issues. Having this exposure will increase each child's experiences (broaden their horizons) and additionally help in shaping his or her perspective on current events. This magazine is written specifically for their age group and has stories of interest for them.
