By Kids For Kids Lessons
These lesson plans are intended to help educators make the most of the nonfiction resources created by our student journalists.
The suggested activities build on the topics presented on By Kids For Kids and in our Leading Healthy Change In Our Communities book series.
The lessons related to the books are leveled for younger readers or Beginning Health Advocates (BHAs) and for older readers or Advanced Health Advocates (AHAs).
We will add to these lesson plans periodically, so keep coming back! We welcome your feedback and suggestions at Editor@HealthyNewsWorks.org. Thank you for your interest!
