Using the newspaper and magazines as a history resource

[Rob_Hugo@PortNW]

I find that the newspapers, especially the New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and the Harold Tribune are invaluable resources of articles on history and Asia. I've posted a thread on one of the other discussion groups about using the magazine, Saudi Aramco World. This issue is simply the cat's meow; its titled The Indian Ocean and Global Trade. It simply doesn't get any better than that. Time and copyright laws permitting, I'd be happy to share articles with those interested. I've be an inveterate newspaper clipper for 25 years and now with the internet, I'm e' clipping into Word.

Here is the link to Saudi Aramco World and the current issue on the Indian Ocean and Global Trade: http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200504/

I'd be glad share ideas on how I got 6th graders to read and understand newspaper articles from the New York Times etc. nb
