The New York Times sponsors a summer reading contest for students ages 13-25. After reading any article in the NYT, you simply write and submit a short response. It can be any article of interest to you and any point of view you wish to present - 350 words or less. Concerned about privacy? No worries. They will not publish any comments that include a last name. All comments will be moderated for quality, appropriateness, respectfulness, and on-topic. However, they will not be edited.
Each week the Student Opinion question will be the same: "What interested you most in The Times this week?" Each week begins on Friday and winners are posted Monday. The first week's winners will be published July 2nd.
Digital access to the NYT is free for 10 articles each month. However, if you follow a link to a NYT article from Facebook or Twitter, they will not count toward that limit of 10. Also, any article that is linked from a NYT blog will also not count toward the 10.
NYT blogs to follow include these:
The Learning Network - the sponsor of this contest
NYT Blog Directory - all blogs sorted by topic categories such as news, politics, tech, culture, sports, style, science, health and more.
NYT Online - Caution! Do not pay for a digital subscription. You can read up to 10 articles for free each month. Keep a count.
