Newspaper Test


D. Bruce Denney, a social studies teacher in Missouri

Found in: reading; researching

Several times a year I buy enough newspapers for my entire class. I draft a test that requires them to use the table of contents on the front of the paper to find the answers quickly. I include questions for everyone; where movies are showing, used cars, hay for sale, exchange rates, the weather, etc. This exercise demonstrates the usefulness of the paper and acquaints them with how to use it.
