Using teacher-selected "articles of the week" (or to be used in conjunction with Kelly Gallagher's "Article of the Week" series), students will work throughout the week to write, edit, and revise their own responses.
They will then publish their responses to their own personal blogs. All rubrics are included!
This activity values student voice by allowing them to explore their own thoughts and feelings about the world around us. It also gives them the opportunity to write for a public audience and really see the purpose of their writing.
