This week we are going to do something different for the Weekly Science Article Report.

I am asking that you listen to a science-related podcast and to tell us what you think about it. Here is a good place to find a lot of them:

In addition to what you normally write for your reflection, I would like you to include something about the difference for you in reading an article versus listening to a story.

Have fun!

Weekly Science Article Report # 3 - Period 6



This week you have your 3rd weekly science article report to do.

For this one, I want you to focus on science articles that relate in some way to the human body and how it works.

For a reminder, here's what to do for this assignment:
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).
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?

Your report is due Friday here on the blog.

By Monday, you will post comments on the work of three other students. Your comments should include:
1) One thing you appreciated/liked about their report - something you think they did well.
2) One suggestion you have for how they might improve their work in the future.
