Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

ReadWorks is a free, online resource that teachers can assign grade and age appropriate articles. Students can complete their Article-of-the-Day responses in Readworks, but I feel that this is easier for me to quickly review students progress. This activity can easily be adapted to any resource that has articles students can read (National Geographic, Weekly Reader, etc..) Feel free to adapt the activity to fit the needs of your students. I did not always grade the assignment, but as my students became more accustomed to the activity, I wanted a way to assess them. You can delete the rubric page or adapt it to your needs.
