Article of the Week (2/28 - 3/4)


We will be beginning the early stages of our research project next week so I want you to start thinking about issues and ideas and topics you are interested in, curious about, worried about, wondering about, upset about, etc.

This week you will choose your own article of the week. Here is what you are responsible for the following:
  • Find an article about a topic that interests you 
  • This article must be at least 1200 words (use wordcounttool.com to verify the length). 
  • Print the article. Annotate the article. 
  • Make sure there is ample evidence of your active reading. 
  • Write a one page response to the article in your notebook.  Include one in-text parenthetical citation after a direct quote or paraphrased portion of the article.
  • Create a citation for your article using Noodlebib. Print the Works Cited page. 
On Friday you will hand in:
  • The printed/annotated article (25 points) 
  • the one page response (25 points) with a correct in text citation (10 points) 
  • the Works Cited page with one entry (15 points)
