Description:

In this Just in Time Teaching activity, students will search the Today's Front Pages website for readable .pdf s of the front pages of newspapers of their target languages, the languages they are studying. Ideally, the students will be able to find two different accounts of the same headline story. The students will bring these to class for an interactive exercise during which they will report their news in the target language. Activity authored by Laura Franklin, Professor of French at Northern Virginia Community College, to be used in conjunction with the original website Today's Front Pages by The Newseum
