Technology in the Classroom : Non-Fiction Text
Tween Tribune
This is a great website to use in the classroom when you need to teach certain skills with non-fiction text. Tween Tribune is a daily news sites for kids, tweens and teens. From animals to entertainment, you will find the most compelling, relevant and interesing news all on one site! Kids will find the articles interesting, and teachers can track student quiz and comment activity to facilitate progress. I love this website because it allows you to choose the Lexile Reading Level of the text. This means your students can learn the same information, but read on a level that matches their reading ability. If you combine this website with the Read & Write for Google extension we learned about in the last newsletter...the sky is the limit!
