Objective: Read articles written by high school students in the United States to analyze style and content.
Procedure:
- Go to one of the following links and peruse the articles you find there:
- http://my.hsj.org (check out the “word cloud” links)
- http://tinyurl.com/nationaledition
- http://tinyurl.com/michiganpapers
- Note that the tinyurl pages are links off the first page.
- Choose ten (10) articles to read.
- Record the name of the paper, name of article, and school the article is from.
- Include a brief description of what the article is about (1-2 sentences).
- Is this a feature article, or a news article?
- Does the topic of this article have to do with this specific school only, or is it a topic that could relate to teens everywhere?
- Compile this information on a Word document. When you are finished, print it to the LAB FRONT printer (not the printer in Audrey’s room! If you’re not sure how to do this, let me know!).
