4S1+Article+Discussion

I would like you to maintain an Article Discussion Page to capture your response/ reaction to various articles that you read in the course of a week.

We will take turns to post these articles (complete with links) on the Discussion Board.


 * The first fellas to kick off the session will be Jonathan Yong, Joshua, Jin Rui and Isaac who will take your pick from the Newsweek magazines that I have shared with you. The deadline will be Sunday of this week** (29 May 2011).

The rest of the class are invited to view these response and to post their comments if they so desire. I would like to invite students in my remedial group as well as those who (for various reasons of their own) have observations or comments to make.

We will then carry on this reading/ reflection/ writing activity by taking turns until everyone has completed his turn.

In short, the order will be:

= index nos **1, 2 and 3** [response to be posted by **Sunday 5 Jun 2011**]

= index nos **4, 5 and 6** [by **Sunday 12 Jun 2011**]

= index nos **7, 8 and 11** [by **Sunday 19 Jun 2011**]

= index nos **12, 13, 14** [by **Sunday 26 Jun 2011**]

= index nos **15, 16 and 17** [by **Sunday 3 July 2011**]

= index nos **18, 20 and 22** [by **Sunday 10 July 2011**]

= index nos **23, 24 and 25** [by **Sunday 17 July 2011**]

= index nos **26, 27 and 28** [by **Sunday 24 July 2011**]

= index nos **29, 30 and J Yong** [by **Sunday 7 Aug 2011**]

= **Joshua, Jin Rui and Isaac** [by **Sunday 14 Aug 2011**]

Happy reading and critiquing!

__**READING ACTIVITY:**__ I'll like to share 2 articles from Newsweek which are more descriptive in nature but in no way, less engaging. Do consider how the introductory and concluding paragraphs are crafted. They provide interesting food for thought.
