Today's
Front Pages
Check this out! This site has the front pages of over 100 different newspapers.
The Newseum's Today's Front Pages page lets you view the current front pages
of 163 newspapers from 25 different countries. If you're interested in reading
(or sharing with your students) the published perspectives of current events
from around the world, this is a great way to do it! You will need to disable
your pop-up killer to view these papers since they are pop-ups. Just turn it
back on when you're finished! Also an excellent "real world" source
for foreign language students.

CNN
- Student News
More appropriate for middle and upper grades,
but an excellent site for current events.
http://www.cnn.com/fyi/
Daily updates for current events - geared for students grades 3 to 12. Nice
connection links and archives for students and teachers. The "Test Prep Question
of the Day" is interesting and teaches strategies for answering certain types
of questions.
Student
News Net
News for Kids Online - Sort of like an electronic "Weekly Reader" that changes
daily. Great for current events. Sponsored by MSNBC. Well done.

This is a great resource for anyone doing a newspaper unit
One of the better commercial sites with classroom resources, magazines online,
teacher tips and student activities. Go to "News Zone" to see current
events online.
By the publishers of Time Magazine - a great current events site updated weekly.
