by Melanie Hopfner - LA teacher Jul 6, 2009

I think Youthink is a great inter-school based newspaper. Students always look forward to the new issue. Students learn that there are other likeminded kids their age in Calgary it allows them to feel understood and heard. Students see that they can actually get themselves published. The link is made between writing/talking in class and having their voice heard/published. Youthink is used in my classroom as a reward for working well. When the new Youthink stack arrives in my class, students are anxious to see what's in the current issue... but, they must work first.

I asked my students what they like about Youthink, and this is what they said...
-The Music section, learning what's new in the industry.

-All the articles are written by peers, relevant point of views.

-Movie section, interested in ratings to see what's good and what's not.
