Re: [LM_NET] Electronic Gaming/Middle School

I agree that it is difficult to find appropriate magazines for middle
school, that will actually interest students.  This year I added a few to
the news-focus ones we had, and I'm asking students what they think of them.
  Each time, I explain that is difficult to select fun, yet appropriate
ones.
New for this year:
Outdoor Life
Dirt Rider
Popular Hotrodding
Nintendo Power
American Girl
Justine (a new, trendy magazine, that focuses on fashion, not on kissing
techniques -- quarterly)

And yes, the kids are looking at them.  I stay away from obviously raunchy
types, and I let the girls buy YM on their own time.
