Current Events Blog:
The purpose of this assignment is to engage you in current events and develop your writing skills. Each week, I will post 1-2 articles on my class website. You will be expected to read the article(s) and respond to a prompt in paragraph form using the extended ACE method. Then, you will select two of your classmate’s responses and reply to their comment. You will keep an updated log of your responses in a Google Doc (from your school e-mail) shared with me. Articles will be posted on Mondays and responses are due by class time on Friday. Peer comments are due by class time the following Monday.
