  2. I used Tween Tribune for my assignment. One of the most interesting features are that you can chose between the different topics for example Animals to World News. I like the Odd News the best because it has nothing to really do with the law. I didn't like that you can have accounts and have to answer the questions. I wouldn't recommend this to my friends because I know that most of them wouldn't use this website.

  6. The website I am reviewing is called TweenTribune. This website includes different news categories, like Technology, Food, Fashion, and etc. When you read a passage, you have three choices. You could take a quiz on it, you could comment on the passage to give your opinion about the article and share your thoughts, the last thing you could do is read the article, and do nothing with it and go on to the next article. The thing that I like about TweenTribune, is that you could compete with your friends, and you could try to beat their amount of how many articles they read. You could be number one two or three. Let the best reader WIN! I would recommend this website to people who love to find out whats going on around us, and what we are not noticing that is news worthy. Anyways, I have to go catch up with alot of people if I want to be number one. See you in TweenTribune.

  7. The website that I went to was Tween Tribune and one interesting feature was that the website has a lot of interesting stories or news to read.The best story that I liked a read was about the movie that is very interesting and was a true story called 12 Years a Slave. What I did not like was that some stories or news is very boring and something that some one would lose interest in. I probably would recommend this site I say maybe because it is kind of boring and I also say yes because you can find some interesting on the website.

  9. I used Tween Tribune.It is interesting because you can choose any type of topic you want to read about,this is why i like it.I don't like it because if you want to comment your comment has to have 25 or more words.I would recommend this to some of my friends.

  10. The website I chose was tweentribune.com because it tells about whats going on in the world today. The things that I like about tween tribune was that I read about a baby anteater whose tongue is 16 inches long and the baby anteater is only 2 pounds, 3 ounces. Another I read about was a teenager who survived a rare cancer and she studied it. The thing that I like best was that it shows how things are happening in the world and what's going on. The thing that I liked least was that sometimes the articles don't tell the 100% story, but they only tell about a good 75% to 85%. The things that I would recommend is that try new things and see what's best for you, but I would give the rating of this website would be 4 stars

  11. The name of the website Time for Kids. Some of the interesting is the way they put up the latest kid stuff on the website. They put new movies and new shows just for kids. I like best is how they put it all organized and stuff like that. I liked least was nothing about the site.Overall I would recommend it to friends because it is a very good website.

  12. I used http://tweentribune.com/frontpage?link for my review.The interesting features is that it has all different news such as:

    Animals
    Art
    Book reviews
    Education
    Entertainment
    Fashion
    Food & Health
    Inspiration
    National news
    News you can use
    Odd news
    Opinion
    Science
    Sports
    Technology
    Tweens in the news
    World news another cool feature is that you can comment and answer questions.another cool thing about tweentribune is you can challenge your friends and try to beat their high score.one thing i really don,t like is that you need a account just to comment or answer questions.but you can read the news and see other peoples comments but you cant comment yourself unless you have a account.I like the different stories best.The thing i like the least is that you need a account just ti read the stories.I would recommend this to friends because you can still read the text you just cant answer questions or give your opinion.But other than that the website is good.

  13. My website is Tween Tribune, some iteresting features were that you could pick your favorite topic (like sports,techgnology,etc.). I liked best is that you could pick your own topic.The thing I liked least is that some questions aren't even in the passage. I would recommend this to one of my classmates because you create your own type of questions you want to answer.

  15. For my assiment I used Tween Tribune. One feature I enjoyed seeing was that they always add new articles. What I liked best was that they have new articles that I would love to read. It also have sport topics.Sports are the best topic for me. Like the one I just read called " Does Students Deserve 10,000 Dollars for Missed Shots". It was all perfect except for for some of the articles I didn't like. One of them is' Olympic results: Loser Keeps Bieber". But overall I would recomend going to Tween Tribune. It is a really great site if you like all sorts of entertainment, sports, art......etc.

  16. The website I chose is Schoolastic.com. The topic I have chose is Crisis in Ukraine. It is about the people of Ukraine protesting about a new government. During the protest many have been jailed, killed, and died. The United States and Ukraine fear that any further action by Russia would causes war between the two countries. Russian President Vladimir Putin says that Russian army is only in Ukraine to bring peace. I think that the Russian army is not in Ukraine not bring peace but war.

  18. The website I am reviewing is called Tween Tribune.One feature I like about Tween Tribune is that the website gives you options on what you want to do with the article you read.One thing that I like about Tween Tribune is the quiz that you take when you're finish reading the article of your choice.One thing I don't like is when you have to do the quiz for a grade because you have to get a certain amount of points to get an A.I would not recommend this site because it bores me easily in my opinion.When Mr.Hallom assigned this class to do it I wasn't very fond of it so, yeah i would not recommend this site. ByeBye!
