"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." – Albert Einstein
Article of the Week
A.o.W. stands for Article of the Week. AoW's are a great way to get students reading and interacting with lots of interesting and current informational texts.
Articles of the Week were developed using strategies originally created by Kelly Gallagher and have been modified to meet the needs of Jorge Mas Canosa Middle School students using Common Core State Standards. The content of these articles is constantly evolving in order to best meet the needs of JMC students.
I want to thank some of the best teachers that I've NEVER met: the fine, fine teachers at Vale Middle School who put together these fabulous Articles of the Week and post them FOR FREE on their website for teachers everywhere to use.
