(Sadly) Reading a Newspaper is Not So Cool, Apparently...

I modified the lesson for "Reading a Newspaper is Cool, and Here's How I Do It" for my students so that they had to create a visual image, collage, or drawing demonstrating what they do, think about, look for, or read when they get a newspaper in class. A few of the students did write their opinions on their projects, but no one wrote a report. Writing is not their strong point, after all! I am planning to bring the artwork to the culminating event this evening. The projects are a bit depressing.

Jessica,

I am sorry to hear about this. I didn't have great success with this at first. Looking forward to seeing today! :)
