My students and I particularly enjoy discussing the last section of an issue of NYT Upfront: debate. The Scholastic magazines are full of short and engaging articles that are about current events, which many students become interested in and utilize for other class projects. Using these articles not only informs students about domestic and foreign affairs but also contributes to our class discussions, helps us build a sense of community, and promotes research-based composition. The magazines are significantly helpful in connecting to curriculum standards by giving me another medium to prepare my students through multiple forms of practice: close reading, analysis, critical thinking, and reflection. This class is a pilot we started this semester in an attempt to assist our at-risk students in improving their literacy skills. The course is different from what other courses (English or otherwise) are doing. The magazines increase the opportunity to access print in a largely online world. While students are craving to complete work with pen on paper, digital access provides an opportunity for continued practice during quarantine events. The articles are quick and easy for my students to read and understand. The best part I have noticed so far is that my students are actually completing the magazine reading and assignments.
