I teach in a high school but I've been discussing the deal since the
beginning with my kids.
Today I had a *great* lesson.
We have the Wittle Channel 1 system and they discussed it, the bombing and
then offered a poll. I had a computer in the classroom and Internet access
so after some discussion we got on www.channelone.com and posted our
responses - after discussion and vote.
There was space for a comment [just in the morning] and I had the kids
break up into groups, compose a paragraph, write their paragraphs on the
board and we 'cut and pasted' to get one they all agreed to and posted it.
What a lesson!
