AoW - Article of the Week
Students receive an AoW (Article of the Week) on Mondays. They should first write the KEY at the top of the article (Key = vocabulary that we don't know (circled); people, places, and things we don't know (rectangle); Questions ?; Surprising!; Main Idea (squiggly line underneath), and w/h questions: who, what, where, when, why, and how (arrow)). Students will then annotate (meaning make notes using our key) the article as they read. The final, independent step is to write 1+ page responding to the article. The response could answer the question from Mrs. Pittman or it could talk about anything having to do with the article. These are usually due by Friday. We will finish discussing the articles on Fridays. **AoW's will be Bi-Weekly during the first part of school**
**It will take us the first 2 months of school to get in this routine. Please be patient as we develop our routine. Check your student's agenda for assignment due dates.**
