Newspapers In The Classroom
HISTORY
The use of newspapers in the classroom began some years ago as
educators learned that newspapers were a uniquely valuable teaching
tool. Why? Because the newspaper's combination of articles and
advertisements offers an interesting, constantly changing source of
classroom applications to practically any subject - English, math,
science, geography, history, government, economics, home economics,
etc.
Another important advantage of using newspapers as teaching aids is the
fact that some young people tend to be intimidated by textbooks, while
newspapers are familiar and unintimidating to most students. As a
result, using them as "text" can be both unusually relevant to the
students' daily lives, and actually fun for them.
Today, using newspapers as a teaching tool is a common practice across
the country. Many creative and effective ways to use newspapers in
classrooms have been developed, and newspapers-in-the-classroom
programs are often part of the curriculum for students preparing for a
career in education.
In 1990, some local teachers and principals came to The
Greeneville Sun for help in instituting a
newspapers-in-the-classroom program. They felt that such a program
would be an asset, and the paper was very interested in working with
them. There was one problem. The schools didn't have the funding
available to support their new program. The Sun agreed to start the
program with the help of area businesses and individuals. That was the
beginning of what is now The Greeneville Sun's
Newspapers-In-The-Classroom program.
Administrative costs, delivery expense, promotions, and half of the
printing costs of the newspapers used in the classroom will be paid by The
Greeneville Sun The sponsors pay the other half of the printing
costs.
SPONSORSHIPS
Local Businesses and Companies: The Sun
welcomes any local business to participate in this worthwhile project.
Businesses taking part will not only have the satisfaction of helping
make this exceptional kind of educational resource available to
students but will also receive recognition for their educational
support through the newspaper in materials published during the year
promoting the program and recognizing its sponsors.
Individuals: The Sun welcomes
any individual who may be going on vacation or moving to another
community to donate his or her newspapers to the
Newspapers-In-The-Classroom program. Students will benefit through the
use of newspapers as supplemental textbooks.
