Washington Post today's paper

To access The Washington Post's daily paper online, go to: www.washingtonpost.com/todays_paper.

Alternatively, you can go to Washington Post's homepage and click on the link.


Once you get to Today's Paper, you should see something like this:


What's cool about The Washington Post is that it shows you the entire front page (and other pages). You can then click on the actual article to read it. This way, you, as the reader, can see what the paper deemed to be the most important stories on that day.


Like The New York Times, you can also access up to one week's worth of past front pages. This way, if you didn't get a chance to read the paper on a particular day, you can always catch up.

USA Today's weekly news quiz

USA Today has a weekly news quiz. It uses their own news content to generate the questions, so it doesn't quite match up with The New York Times. It also seems to cover a wider range of topics (sports, for example). But it's another option if you're interested! http://www.usatoday.com/news/news-quiz.htm

New York Times interactive news quiz

Here is a daily news quiz put out by The New York Times. Of course, because it's a daily quiz, it covers more information than ours on Monday, but it's based on their front page, like ours is. http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/category/news-quiz/

The New York Times front page

Questions for our weekly current events quizzes will be taken from items on The New York Times front page. The Times has some great features!

If you prefer to listen to your news, you can subscribe to the Times' free front page podcast!


If you were absent the day of the quiz or if you would like a refresher, you can click on the dates you missed to get the news from that day!
