Dale Long, Circulation Manager (423) 359-3151 Newspapers In The Classroom The use of newspapers in the classroom began some years ago as educators learned that newspapers were a uniquely valuable teaching tool. Why? Because the newspaper's combination of articles and advertisements offers an interesting, constantly changing source of classroom applications to practically any subject - English, math, science, geography, history, government, economics, home economics, etc. Another important advantage of using newspapers as teaching aids is the fact that some young people tend to be intimidated by textbooks, while newspapers are familiar and unintimidating to most students. As a result, using them as "text" can be both unusually relevant to the students' daily lives, and actually fun for them. Today, using newspapers as a teaching tool is a common practice across the country. Many creative and effective ways to use newspapers in classrooms have been developed, and newspapers-in-the-classroom programs are often part of the curriculum for students preparing for a career in education. In 1990, some local teachers and principals came to The Greeneville Sun for help in instituting a newspapers-in-the-classroom program. They felt that such a program would be an asset, and the paper was very interested in working with them. There was one problem. The schools didn't have the funding available to support their new program. The Sun agreed to start the program with the help of area businesses and individuals. That was the beginning of what is now The Greeneville Sun's Newspapers-In-The-Classroom program. Administrative costs, delivery expense, promotions, and half of the printing costs of the newspapers used in the classroom will be paid by The Greeneville Sun. The sponsors pay the other half of the printing costs. Sponsorships Local Businesses and Companies: The Sun welcomes any local business to participate in this worthwhile project. Businesses taking part will not only have the satisfaction of helping make this exceptional kind of educational resource available to students but will also receive recognition for their educational support through the newspaper in materials published during the year promoting the program and recognizing its sponsors. Individuals: The Sun welcomes any individual who may be going on vacation or moving to another community to donate his or her newspapers to the Newspapers-In-The-Classroom program. Students will benefit through the use of newspapers as supplemental textbooks. Contact LuShep Baldwin, Director (423) 359-3192
