    Laura,

    Thanks for sharing this article! I can well imagine how pleased you
    were to see it :-)))

    I LOVE the idea of Newspapers in Education as a supplement to the
    Learning Page! If this is of interest to the list, we can continue
    to discuss this idea here (so others can jump in)...or you can write
    to me privately and tell me more about your thinking! :-)

    Fellows, speak up now if you have some thoughts about this idea...

    Thanks!

    Leni
