what article reviews

THREE (3) article reviews, you will be asked to select a peer-reviewed, scholarly work from an academic database related to reading in your content area. Each review should be no more than 3 pages, double spaced, and include an APA formatted title page. Your selected article must be current (no more than FIVE years old) and must relate specifically to content reading strategies in a field outside of English/Language Arts (i.e. science, math, social studies, health). Your journal critique should be organized to include the following key points:

Summary of the Article-Write a concise (3 paragraphs) overview of the article. Include the purpose for the article, any research that may have been conducted and the methods used to do so, and any results from the study or other important information that the researcher may have collected or commented on relevant to our purposes.

Conclusions and Implications-Discuss in 1 – 2 paragraphs the implications for the classroom the results of the study may have. Is the information that has been collected useful or practical? Did you agree with the major points of the article or were there any areas of particular concern? Was the article well written and easy to read, or was the information presented in a manner that made it difficult to understand or apply to an actual classroom?

Overall Assessment-Give a short 1 – 2 paragraph overall assessment of the article. Discuss any particular strengths or weaknesses within the study or in the writing. Highlight the benefits to the classroom, or changes that you might make personally as a result of the information found in the study.

All references must be cited in a correctly formatted APA References section. Your paper will also be evaluated for mechanics.
