2. Print some exercises for teachers.

 We have several stand-alone exercises that can help teach the young about the importance and fragility of press freedom, even within one class period. These can be handouts you give out during a class visit or treated as advertisements within your paper. You can choose from a full-page set of multiple exercises or separate sheets encouraging students to design a front page, plan a campaign or explore the notion of press freedom in film.
