Article of the Week (AoW)
“Article of the Week”
At the start of each week, you will be assigned an “Article of the Week” (AoW) which will require you to complete three tasks.
- Read and annotate the article paying special attention to SOAPSTone. This means you might use different colors or different symbols to represent: speaker, occasion, audience, purpose, subject, and tone. You may print out the article and do this by hand and then upload a picture of your work, OR you may use Kami (or another app of your choice) to edit the pdf. Remember, annotations only count if you have your ideas written in the margins - a highlighted paper does not count.
- Using your thorough annotations, complete a SOAPSTone on the doc provided. A sufficient response consists of 3-5 complete sentences for each. *this must be submitted to Turnitin.com.
- One way in which we can master a topic is to teach that topic. Your last requirement is to record a 30 second Flipgrid reflecting on the article. What did you learn? How do you feel about it? What connections can you make? The article often provides response questions at the end so those can help spark your ideas if you are stuck.
These articles will be available on Google Classroom at the start of each week. You must submit it no later than the following Sunday night BEFORE the new school week begins. There is much to learn when we embrace the world around us, so please take this as an opportunity to learn and grow not only academically, but personally.
