Five Ws Of News For Kids Of All Ages Using current events to teach schoolkids history in the making started 1970s, partly to try to lure kids back from doesn t answer that question, we make one up http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/columnists/neuharth/neu033.htm
Extractions: 11/01/00- Updated 03:37 PM ET Using current events to teach schoolkids history in the making started in the 1930s with a handful of newspapers led by The New York Times and the Milwaukee Journal . Next week, students in 70,000 schools will use a newspaper as a textbook during the annual "Newspaper in Education" week. NIE programs mushroomed in the 1960s and 1970s, partly to try to lure kids back from television. Now, with the Internet in the competitive picture, nearly half of the USA's 1,509 dailies sponsor newspaper in education programs. No matter how news is delivered, answers to these basic questions known as the "Five W's," once taught to all journalists, still are expected by consumers: Who? Why? For school-age readers, the "when" and "why" are most important. We read some carefully selected headlines to our Karina, 3, daily. Her standard response: "Why?" If the story doesn't answer that question, we make one up. For 3-year-olds, that's OK, maybe even preferred. But for older kids, it doesn't fly. Our Alexis, 8, reads one or more newspaper stories to me each morning when I drive her to school. Two weeks ago, her attention was grabbed by a page-one Cover Story in USA TODAY about that night's big Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show being televised from Madison Square Garden.

MSNBC Shopping Search MSNBC: Advanced Search Talking to kids about war, violence Children learn of major events from commercials, friends By Scholastic MSNBC Even if your child doesnât sit down and watch news programs or read the newspaper, chances are that he knows and hears about major events, and even some minor ones, just from commercials for the news and word of mouth. Overheard conversations and rumors at school can lead to exaggerated and inaccurate ideas about whatâs going on in the world. LISTEN FOR COMMENTS about war or questions about whatâs going on in the world and begin the conversation there. If your child doesnât bring up the topic, the best way to find out what your child knows is simply to ask. A simple, âDid you hear about X?â or âDo you know whatâs going on with Y?â is a perfect way to spark a conversation. Child development expert Adele M. Brodkin, Ph.D., advises parents âto really listen and tailor discussions to each child, and consider not only the childâs age, but also how sensitive or easily scared he is.â MAKE-BELIEVE FROM REALITY InsertArt(1855192)Younger children (under age 8) have trouble distinguishing make-believe from reality, especially since they see both on TV. Either way, some images can be frightening and seem extremely close to home; it is a wise idea to limit a younger childâs exposure to violence on TV in general. If your child seems afraid, acknowledge her very real fears and reassure her that she and the rest of the family are safe. Explain that tragedies like school violence are rare events and that there is very little chance that your hometown will become a battleground. Answer questions honestly, calmly, and clearly, but donât go into unnecessary detail.

Extractions: WITH THE SUN SETTING in front of him, Carlton Powell Jr. jumped on his cousin's all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and took off down a dirt trail. As his father looked on, the 14-year-old headed for a sloping hill covered with brush and shrubs. As the teen sped downward, he suddenly lost control and fell off. Seconds later, the four-wheeler landed on top of him. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Carlton's death is not an isolated incident. Over the past decade, more than 1,700 kids under age 16 have died in ATV accidents in the United States. Consumer groups say there is one sure way to curtail the escalating number of fatalitiesby keeping kids off adult-sized ATVs. ATVs, also known as quads, have the body of a tractor and four thick tires. Adult models weigh 350 to 1,500 pounds and can travel up to 75 miles per hour. Parents can set a maximum speed limit on child-sized models, which weigh about 215 pounds.

Extractions: Arlington, VA, September 5, 2000 As Americas children go back to school, The Cybercitizen Partnership, a joint effort by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Information Technology Association of America Foundation (ITAA), the nations leading technology association, today launched a new Web site for parents and educators designed to teach kids the right ways to use the Internet. The new Web site - www.cybercitizenship.org - represents a major national effort to provide teachers, parents and their children with a new learning tool responsible computer use. The Web site is initially focused on providing support for parents, and will expand to assist teachers and appeal to kids. Young people are growing up in a society where the Internet is central to everything from commerce to recreation, said U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno. Unfortunately, criminal activity exists online just as it does on the streets. As children learn basic rules about right and wrong in the off-line world, they must also learn about acceptable behavior on the Internet.
