Today, you will be accessing a Play the News site where you interact with the news. Watch this short video to learn about how it works.
Then click here to create a free account at Play the News.
Choose a news story from the homepage depending on your interests: Breaking News, World, U.S., Politics, Entertainment, Technology or Sports. Follow the instructions given by clicking on the HELP button in the top right corner of your video screen.
You will be asked to choose a side or perspective. Then you will be asked to make a decision about what should happen. Finally you will be asked to predict what you think will actually happen.

1) Which news story did you select? Why?
2) Which perspective or side did you choose? Why?
3) What did you decide should happen? Why?
4) What was your prediction? Explain.
5) What do you think about this kind of interactive news approach?
