"Put down that children's book, you old fart."

Today, the freshmen took a swing at reading, and responding, to an editorial from the Slate's website. At my insistence, they did so with specific regard to responding a TNready Informational/Explanatory writing prompt.

"Against YA" Document from Class.

The prompt is on the back.

We began reading and annotating the passage in class. Because we did not finish, students' HW is to finish the article for Monday.

HW:
