Very few students have the time in their hectic lives to read or watch the news. This product aids students as they breakdown a newspaper article before they present it to the class. Students are given this assignment monthly, so that in a given month they will hear between 20-30 new stories presented by their classmates and discussed in class. Students chose from the following categories: international, natoinal, state, local, and sports/entertainment. Students are asked in the form record the location (including lat & long), write the thesis of the article, support, impact, and a reflective question to ask the class. Students enjoy this activity.
Randy! This is a valuable lesson that provides students with a chance to present the information they find, both orally and in written format. Thanks for this freebie!
