Most weeks this semester, you will receive an Article of the Week.  The purpose of this activity is to broaden your reading experiences into more real-world text.  This will expand your background knowledge, which will help you when analyzing literature in class.  Also, it is important for you to think critically about things that are happening in our world. For each Article of the Week, you will perform two tasks: 1. Close reading of the article2. Opinion response on a question at the end of the article.
