Article of the Week
How it Works:
Research clearly shows that the best way to become a better reader and to learn to analyze texts is to… READ! No kidding! So we’re going to read widely – which means a variety of texts, every week, on your own time. You will have one article to read, annotate, and respond to each week.
Every other Monday you will receive a printed Article of the Week. You are responsible for reading and interacting with the article on your own time, then turning it in by the end of the day on Friday. You will receive one of four grades:
- 20 for a FANTASTIC job (full credit)
- 18 for a good job
- 15 for an average job
- 10 for an incomplete job
Directions for Article of the Week
Every other week, you will be responsible for annotating the article, writing a Summary Statement, and completing ONE AoW Activity of your choosing.
