 In
case you've missed it...Your View of the News is a website which
supports newspapers, current events, and student writing in an
online interactive environment. Quoting from the site...
"Making sense of the news is often difficult for adults
and students to do. We each have a different perspective on the
events of the day based on our own experiences, values and
understanding of the world around us. This website is designed to
give students ready access to a variety of sources of information on
the happenings in their community, country and world. It is also
designed to provide students a forum for sharing their reactions and
reflections on the events of the world. Students are encouraged to
read articles from various sources provided and share their thoughts
with other students around the world..."
Each month TIPS will be featuring reactions to news stories by
students which have been posted on "Your View of the
News." For help with using this resource in your classroom,
look at this
tutorial, or contact your
TRT.

| Mars
Up-Close |
| This
article was very interesting because you don’t see Mars that
close very often. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and
not very many people will see it. Tonight, I will try to see
Mars through my telescope. I have set my clock for 3:00AM so I
can see Mars. If I don’t see it I may look again at 5:51AM
Mars has dry riverbeds, polar ice caps and mountains.
Scientists believe that there might have been living organisms
on Mars because they think there used to be water there. I
learned that Mars and Earth will be this close again in 284
years instead of 60,000 years. |

Kids Urged To Help Afghan Children |
I
agree with President George W. Bush when he says that every
American child should contribute a dollar to the Afghan
children. The money is a fund to buy food and medicine for the
Afghan children. I agree because they are suffering more than
they need to from sickness and starvation.
