Treat Yourself Thursday: Student Choice Reading-- All Classes

Today is Treat Yourself Thursday! Rather than give you additional assignments that have little context, I decided to allow YOU to select an article, series of poems, a podcast, or short story to read.  Yes, you must do a SOAPS Analysis but the text is your choice.  If you have a novel you would like to read, you may read and do the analysis on the portion you read! You must complete during class time however! The assignments will all lock today near the end of class to promote the joy of in-class reading.  Here are some of my favorite sites to pick a commentary to read:

18 New York Times Articles to Read Before Eighteen 
Radio Rookies: Youth Radio from New York
Latino USA: Radio Journal of News and Culture from A Latino Perspective
Very Smart Brothas
The Huffington Post: communities Black Voices; Queer Voices; Women's Voices; Latino Voices
The Root: Black News, Culture, Opinion

National Public Radio Podcast Directory. Browse here for some amazing podcasts. One of my favorites is Code Switch.  Link: https://www.npr.org/podcasts-and-shows/
