Go to Newsela and find appropriately leveled articles on topic

Inform students which article they’ll read based on lexile score

Announce is the stage where you disseminate direct and/or inferred answers. To whom and how will you communicate the answer? What stakeholders should hear the answer (e.g. students, parents, teachers, data team, school board, community members, state government, federal government)? What vocabulary will you use to communicate the answer to different groups (e.g. laymans terms, technical jargon)? What modes will you use to communicate the findings to them (e.g. face-to-face, phone call, email, usps mail, website, group presentation)? How much do you need to tell each group? What are the implications for each group? Should they continue what they’re doing? Should they stop what they’re doing? Should they change what they’re doing? If they should change, what are some recommendations for how should they change?
