• Complete the orange box for week 7, then turn in your spreadsheet via Google Classroom
• Follow directions in Google Classroom to turn in your second draft of your memoir (marked with STAR), including the STAR revision sheet
• Begin working on the article of the week assignment (due Thursday)
• 1. Read the article carefully, perhaps several times through (log in to tweentribune.com).
  
  2. Write a brief summary of the article--perhaps 3-5 sentences (this is a good check to make sure you understood the main ideas). This will be the first part of your written response.
  
  3. Take the quiz on the article's website. If you don’t know an answer, look for it in the article. Work carefully and try to get all questions correct.
  
  4. Write your reflection about the article. This will be the second part of your written response, and should be at least a paragraph in length.
  
  5. Write a response to the "critical thinking” question listed at the bottom of the article. This will be the third part of your written response, and should be at least a paragraph in length.
