Today went by very fast, I got to give the assignment to my Print Media class today. I came up with the idea and got to inform the class of what we would be doing. I took the class onto the University of the Cumberlands webpage and had them select an article to review. This class has been having a hard time writing a good article. The reason I had them look over other articles was so that they could start putting in their mind ways to write a good article. I want them to understand that you are telling a story to a reader who was not at the event. If you can make you first paragragh interesting then your reader will read the rest of the article. In Teaching with Love and Logic on page 26 they talk about letting your students make decisions. I let the students pick the article they wanted to review and to say whatever they wanted about it. Looking at published articles will help them to put their articles togehter in their mind before they put them on paper.
Seek the loft by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day.
