Wander the World: Source of conflict

Source Of Conlict

Wander_5 Many of the summer reading books focus on young people encountering conflicts in their lives and communities. How do these conflicts compare to everyday conflicts you face in your life? What conflicts can you find in articles in the St. Petersburg Times or on tampabay.com?  Look for an article in the St. Petersburg Times or a blog on tampabay.com that focuses on an issue or concern that affects children or teens in the community. Read the article or posting carefully. Think about the purpose of the author and the main idea of the writing. What is the main focus of the article? What is the conflict? Do you agree with the perspective being shown in the article? Share your thoughts with other students across Tampa Bay here at our Summer Times Reader Blog.
