I have always used newspapers in my classes with my students as a resource for their subjects.
When I first started teaching I would have paper ones delivered each morning to my classroom and we used them for Social Studies, Economics, Language Arts, Math, and many times I caught students actually reading them without my telling them too.
As the years passed I had students access newspapers online daily and continued to use them as a vital resource.
A friend passed along this great site, Newseum, with links to newspapers all over the globe. Just click on the Middle East from the top menu, then click on Dubai (you do have to know where that is or be a good guesser) - the Gulf News appears with the latest news at your fingertips. In today's world of global interconnectedness this is a great site to keep you and your students aware and up-to-date with the latest news worldwide.
Newseum is a great resource for educators. I just had to pass it along to you....
