Friday, I had my students do something in my class that made the ELAR teachers at my school shout for joy.
They wrote ARTICLE REVIEWS!!!!
Yes, you read that correctly. I gave my students an article that I came across in my readings. I asked them first to read it and summarize it for me. Then, they had to answer an opinion question with evidence from the article to support their opinion. It was amazing to see their thoughts and ideas.
Now I am not a writing teacher, so I do my best to help with grammar, spelling, and punctuation...but to see their thoughts come to life is outstanding.
We are going to be doing this every two weeks. I am already scanning for my next article.
