• Work on the article of the week:
• 1. Read the article carefully, perhaps multiple times through (log in to tweentribune.com).
  
  2. 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.
  
  3. 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.
  
  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. Consider starting phrases like:
  I think…
  I wonder…
  Why…
  This reminds me of...
  
  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.
