next to similar ads from modern magazines or newspapers. How are the products
and services different?
Compare the "fashion" page in one of the News books to a fashion page
from a popular magazine of today.
Compare headlines in The History News with modern headlines. How are
recent conflicts around the world similar to past struggles for and against
change?

Inspire fledgling journalists with current newspapers and magazines as
well as The News books.
And The News Tomorrow
Create the
News of the Future. Now that kids know what
it’s like to live in the new millennium, have them report on the world as
they imagine it--in the year 3000! What will have changed? What things will
have stayed the same?
The Beat
Assign kids to a beat by creating assignments according to kids’
interests and improvising as necessary: News, Politics, Arts and Entertainment,
Health, Classifieds, Music, Sports, Special Report: The Environment, etc.
The Scoop
Put kid reporters to work writing or drawing. What will life be like
1,000 years in the future? What world events and cultural trends will be
announced in the headlines of daily newspapers (if daily newspapers still
exist)?
Interviews
What questions would kids ask in an interview?
It’s press time!
Photocopy and staple kids’ articles to make copies of THE YEAR 3000
