Article of the Week
For each Article of the Week, you will need to do three things:
1. Annotate the article
2. Write a reflection paper -- 1 page or 250 words. (You can use the template on the article to help you.)
3. Format -- Make sure you follow MLA format for these typed assignments. They should be typed in Google Docs and shared with me by the due date. You should rename each document with the following: Your full name, class period, AoW #1 (or whatever # we are on)
1. Annotate the article
- This means that while you read, you will highlight, circle, or underline words/phrase/sentences in the article. They could be things that you find interesting, think are important, don't understand, or have questions about. Make sure you try to find and highlight the main idea and whatever support or evidence the author gives for the main idea.
- You will also need to write notes in the margins for everything you highlight! Write definitions of words/phrases you don't know, write questions, your comments or ideas, or just general notes indicating why you highlighted it.
2. Write a reflection paper -- 1 page or 250 words. (You can use the template on the article to help you.)
- 1st paragraph -- Write a brief summary of the article. The first sentence should have the author's name and title of the article. The summary should include what the author's main idea was and what support or evidence the author gave for the main idea. The last sentence of this paragraph should explain what the author's conclusion was. Make sure to use your OWN words!
- 2nd paragraph -- Write whether you agreed with the author or not. Explain why or why not.
- 3rd paragraph -- Explain what you think of the ideas presented in the article. Use the response questions to help you.
3. Format -- Make sure you follow MLA format for these typed assignments. They should be typed in Google Docs and shared with me by the due date. You should rename each document with the following: Your full name, class period, AoW #1 (or whatever # we are on)
