Instructions:
In order to be considered completed, there are two parts that must be done in an Article of the Week assignment. The reading and marking up of the article is one part, and the one page reflection is the second part.
Article:
The article must show signs of being read. Words and/or phrases that are not understood are circled. Important phrases are underlined. Other notations that you may use are exclamation points for things that surprised you, stars by things you agree with, or check marks for things you already knew. Finally each section of the article should have, in the left or right margin, a short sentence or phrase that summarizes that section. How the article is divided into sections is up to you.
Reflection:
This should be one page in length. There should be one short paragraph for summary. This should equal at most 25% of the reflection. The rest of the reflection should address things like: what you learned, how it applies to you, how it affects you, what you think about it, etc. You may also address some or all of the questions that usually come at the end of each of the articles I give you.
The article is distributed on the first day of the week that we meet as a class and is due on the first day we meet in the following week.
