The purpose of this assignment is to
develop your ability to
read and write about science.
The assignment:
You will find a science related article that is interesting to you. It can be about any topic, not just whatever we are studying in class. Then you will write a report which has these three parts:1) Citation: Here you will put the name of the article, the author and where you found it (for example, the New York Times or Science News for Kids) and the date it was published. You will then hyperlink the title to the webpage where you found it so that a reader can click the hyperlink and go directly to the actual article. Articles should be no more than 3 months old.
2) A brief summary: Here you will summarize the article in one or two sentences. This is to give your readers (including me) a sense of what you have read.
3) Reflection: This is the biggest part of your report. I am interested in your response to the article. Please address the following questions in your reflection:
a) What did you think about the article? Did you like it or not? Why?
b) What interested you or surprised you about the article?
c) What questions do you have about what you read? What would you like to know more about what you’ve read?
