Youthink is a wonderful addition to any LA class...

by Kim Munro - Grade 9 LA teacher Jul 6, 2009

Youthink is a wonderful addition to any LA class because it encourages students to read and think about issues that are important (and not so important) in their world. The students eagerly await each month's issue mostly because it is a reflection of themselves and it is a chance to see themselves and their classmates in print.

As a teacher, I love it because it encourages real writing in a number of different genres. And anytime you get students interested in reading something other than their game book rules, it is a success.
