Thanks for sharing this……..

in expansion to Joyce’s question — I have always wondered how the NEWS MEDIA would have covered historical events —

Such as John Adams and Thomas Jefferson dying on the same day…..as an example. I am trying to fathom how our news would handle that today??!!!

I think it would be interesting to see students create NEWS SHOWS on past events as well.
