It's clear that most students are familiar with the informational and educational value of newspapers. But what do they know about the contents and structure of the newspaper they read? Can they tell a news article from a feature or an editorial? Can they determine the accuracy of a particular news article? Can they find specific information quickly? Do they know that

Serving Educators Around The World Media Literacy Review Media Literacy Online Project - College of Education - University of Oregon - Eugene Why Don't Kids Know the News? Bill Walsh, Contributing Writer E-Mail: WillWalsh@aol.com At times I'm alternately discouraged and/or appalled when I realize how little news some of my students get. From time to time, after reading an interesting piece in the newspaper or seeing something on TV that I'd like to discuss with them, I ask in class the next day, "Did anyone see the story in the Globe (or Herald or Sun or whatever) about such-and-such?" Or "Who saw `60 Minutes' last night?" It's not that there are so few positive responses; it's that there aren't ANY. And as a result, I (and perhaps others, as well) find that many students are blissfully unaware of even the most basic current events. Try this: Ask a student you know an easy current events question - like who is running for President or what the big deal is about gas prices or what's going on in Bosnia. It's a rare kid who can tell you. I am not making fun of them. The students I see are neither stupid nor lazy nor especially self-centered. There is something else going on here, and I'm just trying to figure out what it is.

Serving Educators Around The World Media Literacy Review Media Literacy Online Project - College of Education - University of Oregon - Eugene All the News That's Fit for Kids Helping children become "news-smart" Author: Gloria DeGaetano News and news-related programs make up a bigger part of the TV landscape than ever before. One recent survey determined that these programs account for 30 pecent of broadcast network time. The number of hours devoted to news grows even larger when cable is factored in. For parents, this is literally a good news-bad news situation. On one hand, cable television offers an enormous diversity of current-events programs to helps us all be informed, responsible citizens. On the other hand, it is more important than ever to know what kind of news programming is appropriate for your children. Messages and stories absorbed at an early age have the biggest impact on children, who often don't understand that news programs offer a very narrow view of the world. Much of what is covered on television news involves the most negative aspects of human behavior. If programs that send skewed and harmful messages about how people behave are a child's first cultural impressions, then the child will most likely compare all future accounts, no matter how realistic, to these inaccurate ones. Kids can also become fearful when information is presented out of context. "After the television coverage of the bombing of Baghdad a few years ago," says Harvard University child psychologist Dr. Robert B. Brooks, "children in this country worried that their homes would be bombed in retaliation."

Overheard conversations and rumors at school can lead to exaggerated and inaccurate ideas about what's going on in the world. Listen for comments about war or questions about what's going on in the world and begin the conversation there. If your child doesn't bring up the topic, the best way to find out what your child knows is simply to ask. A simple, "Did you hear about X?" or "Do you know what's going on with Y?" is a perfect way to spark a conversation. Child development expert

American Forces Press Service ^ Posted on 03/04/2004 10:36:39 AM PST by Calpernia Every Thursday, and some Saturdays, volunteers at Fort Lewis, Wash., lug sewing machines to the Army Community Service building so they can create quilts for children of those deployed in the war on terrorism. About 18 months ago, Marty Alexander, library technician, saw a sample of a cuddle quilt on TV. An avid quilter, Alexander said she went about making one. It took her four hours. Alexander said she thought if she could get an assembly line going, she'd be in business. She talked with Mary Herrera, chief of family services, Army Community Service. Donna Arias, a financial planner at ACS, joined the team, and the "Quilts for Kids" program began. Since then, about 90 children have received the lap quilts. "When the war started, I got to thinking about all the kids whose parents would be going away," said Alexander. "I wanted to do something for them." In the beginning, about 20 volunteers answered the call, said Herrera. "People brought in their own sewing machines," she said. "Some donated fabric. It was really nice."

Section Front E-mail This Story Printable Version Helping Kids Cope With War Stress NEW YORK, March 26, 2003 (Photo: AP / CBS) (CBS) With no quick end in sight, the war in Iraq is likely to dominate the TV shows your children see and the conversations they hear for weeks to come. Although your child may not talk about it, there's a good chance that all this war talk is causing some fear, anxiety or stress. Child psychologist Robin Goodman, from the New York University Child Study Center, explained on The Early Show what parents should do to alleviate those concerns and fears. The most important thing to remember, she says, is that parents consistently underestimate symptoms of stress in children. While their children might be struggling with the images or ideas of war, they often can't articulate their worries. Instead, this anxiety is reflected in changes in behavior or physical pains — signs of anxiety that parents fail to recognize. Although Goodman says she does not want to panic parents, she does worry that parents often take the attitude of "that's not happening to my kids."

NC MUSEUM OF HISTORY AWARDED A MAJOR NEH GRANT TO SUPPORT TDEP's "CRAFTING FREEDOM " WORKSHOPS Raleigh, N.C. The North Carolina Museum of History has been awarded a $301,000 teacher training grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for a series of residential teacher workshops in African American history and culture titled “Crafting Freedom: Thomas Day and Elizabeth Keckly, Black Artisans and Entrepreneurs in the Making of America.” Teachers from North Carolina and other states can apply to engage in intensive study and discussion of important African American historical topics. The five-day workshops, in late June and late July 2004, will take place in the Triangle area. A total of 200 teachers can attend. The grant will cover their expenses and study materials. The workshops are part of NEH’s new Landmarks in American History initiative, designed to give teachers direct experiences in the interpretation of significant historic sites and the use of archival and other primary historical evidence. A total of eighteen Landmarks projects were funded nationwide.
