ACTIVITY 1:
 What is the heading of our article/text? What is the subheading?
 We will read pages 3-7 together and answer questions as we go.
ACTIVITY 3:
 Written assessment for students, answer the Reflecting questions on page 7.
 What issue in this selection did you make the strongest connection to? Why?
 Which type of connections were most helpful to you while reading this article?
 Which issue have you heard most of in the news?
 What sort of viewpoint is most often connected with that issue?
ACTIVITY 4:
 Write out sentences with the words affect and effect. High light both words.
 How are these words alike? (spelling/pronunciations)
 Note the differences, Affect is a verb, effect is a noun, affect means change, effect means the
outcome
 Write ‘Words Often Confused’ List the following:
 affect/effect, advice/advise, accept/except, lose/loose, global/globule, emigrate/immigrate,
formally/formerly
 Use dictionaries to find the parts of speech and meanings of each set of words.
 Ask: Why are these word pairs not considered homophones(words that sounds the same)?
 Ask: Why do writers need to know parts of speech?
ACTIVITY 5:
 Create a blog entry describing your actions as a global citizen. Create a draft first.
