I also work with the NewsHour team, and we have been experimenting with ways to write short lesson plans surrounding these "Student Voices" to make them more valuable in the classroom. Here is a very recent example of a multimedia…

I picked the first link above on the Iowa Caucuses. The page about what they learned about journalism would only be valuable to me if I was going to do a report with a class - and even then, it wasn't exactly earth-shattering. Then, I thought I…
