Adult Learning Activies - The California Distance Learning Project (CDLP) goal is designed to help
expand learner skills in understanding news stories they read, listen to or see. The project includes stories,
photos and videos that make learning interesting and appropriate for adults. Click the link or any one of 11
topics listed below and begin your lesson. After you read, listen and view a video for the story you selected,
do the activities. You will be graded for vocabulary, spelling, writing, and other activities associated with the story.
New York Times Learners Network - Here you can read today’s news tories, take a news quiz, do special crossword puzzles, expand your vocabulary, practice your verbal test-taking skills, and even take a Web Exploration on a variety of topics. You can also submit a letter to the editor, or ask a reporter a question.
Learning Resources - Web based instruction using current and past CNN news stories. Each module includes the full text of each story and interactive activities to test comprehension. The learner can choose to read the text, listen to the text, and view a short video clip of the story. Each module is designed for ease of use so the learner can use it independently. The instructor can also incorporate any story into class activities and lesson plans.
