Welcome to the Star's Newspapers in Education page

NIE online provides online lesson plans and other innovative materials for use on NIE Web sites to provide valuable newspaper-oriented resources to teachers through the Internet. With the support of area businesses and individuals, The Anniston Star Newspapers in Education program provides one of the most versatile teaching tools available — the newspaper. Our program can also provide ideas and other material that makes newspapers more effective.

Why Newspapers?

  • It deals in actuality, in what is happening here and now. Motivation for reading and discussion is built in.
  • It is the only up-to-date social studies text available.
  • It is the only text the majority of children will continue to need and use throughout their lives.
  • It contains history as it unfolds, reported as completely and objectively as possible.
