The New York Times Learning Network

The New York Times Learning Network has numerous lesson plans on a variety of subjects that can be searched by topic or keyword. The lessons contain links to New York Times articles. I previewed some of the recent additions and discovered that they were written by many of the same authors. I would suggest that this resource be used as a source of inspiration and ideas rather than an end product.

I did like the Student Connection section however. There is a Daily News Quiz, Word of the Day, Test Prep Question of the Day, and Science Q & A. Great opportunities for learning. Each Daily News Quiz is accompanied by a news article. The Science Q & A was a topic about wearing hospital scrubs outside the hospital.

I plan to use this in my class.
