Used this as an option for mid-year evaluation of student writing. Students were engaged with the topic, as this is something they interact with daily. Resources were well chosen were drawn from various publications, including USA Today and Washington Post.. Multiple reading levels in the resources, with enough choice to eliminate those which may be too easy or too difficult for your students.
