Using the Article Review Format provided below, respond to a peer-reviewed journal article. The article must directly address any specific curriculum model. You may use any model in the textbook or another one that interests you (e.g., Tylers Rationale, The Learner Centered Curriculum Model, etc.). Include a copy of the article with each review. No more than 2 pages will be permitted (I will not read past that – one purpose of the review is to help you develop concise, cogent and analytical writing).
You will read an article and write a short narrative to describe the paper. Your summary should be no more than 2-3 paragraphs (unless you chose a very long article). The tone of your response should be academic in nature. In the response section, you should be critical as you analyze the reading. Consider the subject matter of the article but think about the perspective of the author. Decide if the reading sufficiently covers the topic and describe your perspective. Were your opinions challenged? Determine the extent of the validity and reliability of the work you are reading. Discuss what you found interesting, enlightening, contributory, challenging or inappropriate and explain why you thought this. Then, discuss how you could apply the what you learned in the article to your curriculum (this is the application section).
Here are some specifications and suggestions:
1. The deliverable for this assignment is a short narrative. This is about 500-800 word double spaced typed at 12 point font. Its the quality of your words we are interested in, not the quantity.
2. Reflect on the big ideas presented in the paper/article. Describe these in detail.
3. Do not make lists or use bullets.
4. Subheadings are helpful to provide structure for your paper (Summary, Response, Curriculum Applications, References see p. 41 of APA 6th ed. Manual).
5. Proofread your work! Use correct grammar, spelling, sentence structure, etc. This is expected in all graduate level writing.
6. Use examples to support your thoughts, opinions, and perspectives.
7. Organize your materials and develop an introduction and conclusion
