“Read and download the report” (on the bottom) – Download a PDF file – Look for actual author names of the article such as Miller, T., Garland, M., & Gerdeman, D. (2020).
Please make sure that you selected a different article that you chose in the previous article assignment.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
1. Choose a different article from the article review #1 assignment.
I seriously double check if you selected a different article from the first assignment. Some examples include:
Alternative Career Readiness Measures for Small and Rural Districts in Texas
Participation in State-Funded Prekindergarten in Oklahoma
College Enrollment and Completion among Texas High School Graduates with a Disability
Using Logic Modeling for Statewide School Improvement Efforts Training
Impact of providing information to parents in Texas about the role of Algebra II in college admission
Teacher certification and academic growth among English learner students in the Houston Independent School District
Trends in teacher mobility in Texas and associations with teacher, student, and school characteristics
Associations between predictive indicators and postsecondary science, technology, engineering, and math success among Hispanic students in Texas
2. Create 2 critical thinking questions before reading.
They can be your predictions from the title or/and any inquiries that you want to learn after reading the article. At the end, present your own answers to your questions, based on the information within the article as well as from your outside research. Please add the resources or website addresses if obtained from your own research.
3. The Summary of the Article:
Provide a concise and thorough summary of the article that you selected in your own words. Do not place your opinions to the summary section. Your personal comments must be placed in the response section.
You must include at least 3 in-text citations and provide an accurate reference of your selected article in APA style.
In-text citation: APA in-text citation style uses the author’s last name and the year of publication, for example: (Field, 2015). For direct quotations, include the page number as well, for example: (Field, 2015, p. 14). For more than one author: (Stoker et al., 2017, p. 1)
A reference in APA style for the article: Make sure to write the title of the JOURNAL, not to the title of the article, in Italics. If you are familiar with Chicago style footnotes, you may write the reference of your selected article in Chicago style as well.
APA Style Example:
Wolf, P. J., & Lasserre-Cortez, S. (2018). An exploratory analysis of features of New Orleans charter schools associated with student achievement growth. The Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Southwest. Retrieved from https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/edlabs/regions/southwest/pdf/REL_2018287.pdf.
4. Your own responses to the topic within the article:
Describe specific connections with the information and its applicability to your own teaching.
If the article discusses topics other than your own area, research more on the similar topics around your area and add your outside research to the paper by comparing it with the article that you selected.
Write the paper as a final version that is organized and grammatically sound.
5. The conclusion and your final thoughts, including the answers to your 2 critical thinking questions:
Conclude your paper with your final thoughts and the answers to your own questions.
Offer resources by the title/authors, publishing year, and the website address, if any.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
To wrap-up:
1. Post your article review paper with the summary, 2 critical thinking questions, your own responses with application ideas, and the conclusion with the answers to your own questions (6 pages total, double-spaced).
2. Provide at least 3 in-text citations and present an accurate reference of your selected article in APA style. You don’t need to include the abstract, header/footer, etc. For the six authors, you may list with their last names, first initials one by one for the first five authors and then put & before the last author such as Sullivan, K., Barkowski, E., Lindsay, J., Lazarev, V., Nguyen, T., Newman, D., & Lin, L. (2017). However, when you cite it in the text, you simply add the first author such as Sullivan et al., 2017, p. 3.
3. Please do not forget to present the reference of your original article from the link and add additional references to the project, if any. Listing the reference of your selected article is required. Using Chicago style footnotes is also accepted.
NOTE: These articles were selected from the same Journal. Therefore, write the title of the journal in Italics such as REL Southwest, after the title of the article. No peer discussion responses for this assignment!
