New Year's Day

by Sherry Grey I love New Year's Day! To me, this is a day when my family get together and enjoy themselves. On January 1st, my house is always full of aunts, uncles and cousins who I haven't seen for ages and we all have the chance to catch up with each other's news. My mum always makes a delicious roast beef lunch and we all sit around the table and eat, talk and laugh for hours. After this huge meal, it's time to watch the Rose Bowl. The Rose Bowl is one of the most important football championships in American League football. Everybody has their favourite team and sometimes the yelling and cheering can get very loud! The food and the football are all great, but I think the best part of the day is when we make our New Year resolutions. Although most people don't keep their New Year promises, it is interesting to hear what everybody wants to change about themselves!

Scfabb\e game pŸogŸess

Ben Loiterstein is a very famous man. He's a teacher of English but also a Scrabble world champion. Ben believes that Scrabble belongs in

the classroom. He says, "l use Scrabble in class all

the time. It is a thrilling experience for the kids.

They learn arithmetic, language, dictionary skills and team work. Scrabble teaches them everything in a really fun way."

Other teachers seem to agree with him that Scrabble is a way for young people to have fun and learn at the same time. They think teenagers, who seldom open a dictionary, rarely go to the library and usually spend most of their time surfing the Internet, find playing Scrabble interesting. One of them says, "It's the only time I ever see my students fight over a dictionary, or even open one!"

Ben visits classrooms across the country to help other teachers understand that Scrabble is an educational tool, a tool for improving strategic thinking and bringing people together.
