Attention Parents : This activity is designed to help students understand and read informational text, increase critical thinking skills, understand argumentative writing, create world awareness, compare and contrast opposing sides, and analyze information.
I got this idea from Kelly Gallagher a teacher, writer, and education specialist from California. Each week students will read a current events article and then perform any number of activities related to the article.
They will be listed below by week in numerical order.
