6th Graders -
This assignment will: 1) provide keyboarding practice; 2) teach internet navigation skills; 3) review internet search skills; 4) review cut and paste; and 5) provide reading and reflection practice on current events.
Follow these instructions to complete the activity:
1) Click on the link (below) to read the current event article (in a new tab or window!)
2) Come back and reflect
3) Search from the article’s page to find another article somehow related to the original (same topic, same author, etc) The new article can be from anywhere on the internet
4) Come back and paste the link into your comment and give a short description of the new article and how it relates to the original
You can not have the same article as anyone sitting next to you – dig deeper! See Mrs. Olson’s example comment for guidance when completing the activity.
