PRESENTATION
Washington Post E-Replica

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-style: normal;">**Description on how I used each of the Google Docs:**

I used the survey feature to learn about newspaper reading habits of students. The survey shows that most students do not received the newspaper at home. They spend a limited amount of time reading the newspaper and most did not express an interest in learning more about reading newspapers. Students reportedly get their information from the Internet and television.

After the survey, I created a presentation to teach students how to use the E-Replica version of the Washington Post. E-Replica is an exact duplicate on the printed newspaper online. The first few slides discuss basic features of reading the newspaper. The end of the presentation includes a live demonstration for using E-Replica, part 1. There are several parts to the lesson and I had to break up the training in sections because of the 10 minute time limit on YouTube. I used this presentation for my Senior Advisory class and a 9th grade English class.

The 9th graders used E-Replica to read about an incident that happened at Georgetown University. It appeared in the December 18, 2009 newspaper. The Georgetown Heckler published a controversial article that included images of the KKK. Students read the article and reflected on how this topic related to the book they were reading, __To Kill A Mockingbird__.


 * Reflection**

My senior advisory students appear to be shock that they may or may not graduate. They are so stressed it is hard to get them to focus. Only one read the article I wanted them to read. I had more success with the 9th graders because they were getting a grade. Although I wanted them to have more time using E-Replica, this activity for the 9th graders was a good introduction. I partnered with Ms. Swift. She posted a writing prompt on her class blog. After the students read the article in the Washington Post, they discussed the article and the book. I hope to collaborate with more teachers and get them to use E-Replica more frequently.
