Digital Text Set

Research for the essay section of this assignment will require students to utilize many different sources and other forms of text to inspire their final position and product.

As part of their final presentation, students will have to provide the sources that they used to inform their opinion and to help teach others about the topic.

Items that could be included in this portion of the assignment include news articles, non-fiction and fiction text, poetry, songs, and video clips.

Examples of “close reading” of the text will be a part of the assignment and all pieces will need to be available for display on our Gala night.

Things to Consider

• Having a varied selection of text support will be more engaging

• Shorter pieces will be better (poems, articles, picture books, video clips)
