Newsela- Why aren't you using it?

    • copy/paste a text/ questions from Newsela into a Google Doc
    • Share it with students
    • Students can highlight text, cite evidence, etc. and then highlight their answer choice using Read & Write (highlighting tool)- (Google Doc add-on/extension)
    • Read & Write will also Read Aloud the text
Example:  Nazi Death Camp’s Last  Survivor Dies

Google Doc:   https://goo.gl/0hfuA0  
If you are not using Newsela, you need to start!  This is an awesome resource that works seamlessly with Google Classroom.  There are 100s of current event articles that can be implemented into the curriculum on a daily basis.  It's a wonderful tool for nonfiction text.
