Objective: I can annotate a text with questions and comments to discuss an issue during turn and talk. Students will see their OAKS scores from last year and set a goal for improvement this year. They will also create goals for improvement on the posttest in three weeks. In partners, students read the Chicago Tribune article, "No Homework," using annotations and talking back to the author in the columns. We answered the following questions: 1. Why are students doing less homework at Marya Yates School in Matteson? 2. What does homework teach kids, according to Harris Cooper? 3. What will happen now that the students are doing less homework? 4. In your opinion, should ASMS limit homework?
