I have my Journalism students do current events each week and then we start off the week discussing those events. Each week has a different focus depending on the unit we are studying and this particular week's format focuses on writing style. It asks students to evaluate different parts of each article they find, specifically how the author integrates different aspects of journalistic writing. The digital Google Doc format allows students to type directly into the document.

While I use this in my Journalism class, it could easily be adjusted for History or English classes as well.
