Teachers: Here is a link to a Google Doc that will give students their own version of the article "The History of Communication Security and the USS Midway." This way you can use the article as a Close Reading assignment using Google Docs.
In addition to the YouTube tutorial to the left, here's a link to text-based instructions for using Google Docs for Close Reading.
This is a fun activity you can do with students to introduce the concept of a Venn diagram. The lesson utilizes hula hoops where kids physically place their shoes into the circles to learn about categorization. The same could be done with sidewalk chalk or other age-appropriate items.
