Instructional Ideas
- To gather more varied data about how people publish, require individuals to interview someone their own age as well as a parent, guardian, or teacher
Classroom Considerations
- Some extension ideas are a bit out of date, but could be easily altered
- This plan is designed to take place after a visit to the Newseum, a news museum in Washington DC; however, visiting the museum is not necessary for the success of the activities
