Our efforts paid off. With practice, students are able to do the SIN reading activities independently. Teams discuss the science in the reading, instead of how to read the science. Working together, students become expert readers of science in the news. More importantly, we are learning that science literacy is not a fixed object; people are not good readers or nonreaders, but evolving readers. Figure 4 (p. 26) shows the grading rubric for this project.
