The headlines and articles on the front page of today's newspaper
will wind up in the history books of the future. The same is
true for the television and radio reports, the documentary films,
the photos, and the electronic news that's archived on the Internet.
How would you explain a current news story to the next generation
of students? Try this exercise:
- Choose a story that's been in the news recently. Collect
information from various news outlets — including newspapers,
television broadcasts, radio, and online publications. Check
out SNN Links to find news sources.
- Write a 500-word entry for a history book in 2056. Explain
what happened, introduce the key players, add details and context,
and add in opinions from various people on why things went the
way they did.
- Add a list of resources like books, magazines, Webpages and
photos that will help the reader of the future understand the
story.
