Tween Tribune - A News Resource for MS Students

Each week, Tween Tribune searches the Web to find news stories that will hopefully appeal to tweens (students between the ages of 8-14). Students are then able to make comments about news articles. The best part about this site is the FREE options that are available to teachers! Teachers can set up a FREE account. When students create an account, they simply select the appropriate teacher to join! The teacher will (1)get a record of the stories that his/her students have responded to; (2)be able to see individual student comments on his/her page; (3)get a list of all comments that can then be sorted; (4)have the ability to moderate responses before they are published. There is a Faculty Lounge where you can share lesson plan ideas with other teachers. Stories are relevant to any subject matter and the site can be used throughout the curriculum! When you visit the website, be sure to click on the "For Teachers" link at the top of the page!
