Benzinha, yes that's a good idea. At the moment they are required to study how to cover the news and they find a lot of that boring

MayB, How about something closer to their dear little hearts?
Reporting on a new video game from the POV of the makers in their annual report magazine feature article and the POV of a parent reviewing the game for some publication? Or just a child and parent reviewing a game or show or young person's story in the paper? Boy falls off cliff.....from the Climber's Magazine and from the Health and Safety Commission. It's always fun to make kids take a child's and then a parent's POV on the same subject metter.

Mikes goddess. Thanks but I am not negative about commenting. I recognize the reality here that if you do not comment you are not read. To win readers it is not enough to write here, you must interact. At this time life is more hectic than normal so I have rare opportunities to comment and so in a way it is almost not worth writing if you cannot generate a readership. if we write in a public forum we want to be read.

Well May, I stopped by after you left a comment...
on one of my book reviews. I wanted to see the kind of writing you do. I am really sorry you feel so negative about commenting, although it can be time consuming. I guess I should feel honored that you commented on my post.
Take Care.
