A site that I recently came across is:
http://tweentribune.com
This is a news site for tweens and teens ages 8-14 by students for students. Interesting news stories are pulled together on this moderated website especially created for students to read and comment on--Speak about interacting with text--yay! If teachers are interested in signing up their classes (for free) they have the ability to customize their class page so that everyone can see the stories that their classmates find interesting and read the comments being made. Also, teachers can choose to receive reports of individual student comments and give feedback on student writing!
