Article: Hook 'Em

This is the second in sequence format used at the beginning of a semester or school year. This assignment has students integrate outside sources connecting them to the current novel study. This gives students an opportunity to learn skills such as MLA (or required) format, reading and summarizing a given article, finding, evaluating and summarizing an article, constructing a Works Cited page, and eventually vocabulary integration and internal citation. As I said, this assignment builds over time, giving the teacher time to assess and teach needed skills.
