Article of the Week

The purpose of Articles of the Week is to give students something interesting to read and discuss. We assign these to also teach students to read actively and learn to highlight and think while reading. Students are required to highlight words that they don't know and define them in the text. They are also required to add comments and questions throughout the short article. Finally, they are required to answer the short questions at the end and write a short paragraph response. If any of those elements are missing, the student has not done the required learning that we expect.
