BBC News - Spire hoisted at One World Trade Center - 0 views

  •  
    This story is newsworthy because it marks an important step in the process of building One World Trade center. This would be relevant to teens because we have grown up in the aftermath of 9/11 and many people see the trade center being rebuilt when they go to new york or areas where you can see new york. Images that could be used for this would be student photos that they have taken (i have seen some) or government images of the building. Another photo that could be shown would be an image of the twin towers before 9/11 or ground zero.

BBC News - H7N9 bird flu is a 'serious threat' - researchers warn - 1 views

  •  
    This story is newsworthy because the strain of this flu potentially poses a serious threat to every human on the face of the earth. There is a new strain of bird flu in China that has killed one fifth of all those infected and left three fifths of those infected still seriously ill. This would be interesting to teens because they like to know what health issues are going on in the world so they can take measures to protect themselves and those they love. Because the flu is not yet transmissible from human to human, the only way to contract it is to come into contact with poultry. Therefore, people may want to know about this so they can stop buying chicken.
