News Headlines:
What words do the headline-writers use?
How do those words change the story?
Discussion questions:
Why do we need news?
What would happen if you couldn’t access news of any kind?
What if you: wanted to join a community rally and didn’t know that the location had changed?
What if you: were going to buy the latest phone and missed the news that the popular model was badly made?
What if you: got dressed for the day and didn’t know about the upcoming blizzard?
Getting an accurate, clear and timely explanation of the world around us helps us understand communities (ours and beyond). It also helps us make better decisions about how we spend our time and money, what we value, and what we support.
