Okay, we're talking to Maya, Anja, and Logan.

So first thing I want you to do is I want you to introduce yourself, just say your name.

Hello, I am Anja, and I am 13 years old.

Anja is my kid.

I'm Maya and Logan, or two of her friends.

At school, in history class, they have a current events unit.

Once a week, the teacher assigns them a news article to read, or the kids pick their own

from the New York Times, the BBC, CNN, and Wall Street Journal.

Wall Street Journal.

And then the students write an essay about the article.

So when the teacher asks you to do this current events, reading, what is like the point?

Do you ever discuss that?

Like, what does the teacher say that you're trying to accomplish by reading a current event

article and relating it to the history?

So I think that it's really important to read current events because we're in this little

bubble at our school.

And so it's important to see outside of the bubble so we can improve what's not in our

school and what's not as protected.

So that's really interesting.

So that's like reading the news in order to be kind of like a better person.

Logan, would you think is that kind of what, how you see it too?
