Description
Based on Kelly Gallagher's Article of the Week concept, my reading articles are typically non-fiction and modeled on Vale Middle School's format. The articles have been chosen by me and all questions have been developed by me. If you would like to see what Vale Middle School does, check out http://vms.vale.k12.or.us/articles-week
This informational text was used in my classroom as an Article of the Week to go with the class reading of Chasing Lincoln's Killer. It is developed from the article "Could Modern Medicine Have Saved Lincoln?" By David Brown, Washington Post Staff Writer, Monday, May 21, 2007 and includes both multiple choice and short response questions. It is a 1170 lexile.
