RRJ

We are going to start a new habit, one reading response per week.  I will continue to add interesting articles to this flip board magazine.  Your job will be to read at least one article a week and write a two paragraph response to what you read.  

You should give a brief summary of your article and then use the sentence starters to add your thoughts.

  1. Open a Google doc
  2. Share it with me
  3. Title it: your name RRJ
  4. Title and date your response
  5. Continue to use the same doc each week.

Here are some sentence starters for you to use.

Writing prompt

Here is an assignment that Mr. Harvey would like us to complete as part of education week in early May. Here is the prompt:

How does technology affect your learning at Brooke Central?

Here is a planning framework to help you organize your thinking.

5 paragraphs minimum please.  Your thesis should be the big idea that you would like to get across and your three body paragraphs need to connect to the big idea.  This is your opinion but you can certainly support your ideas with some research.
