An English teacher asks their group of 16-year-old students to
read the internet post “Top 10 Educational Blogs for Teens” and
decide on one of the blogs to follow during the semester. After
going through the material, the group chooses blog #6 Science
News for Students, which is introduced as follows:
#6 Science News for Students
Created by the Society for Science, this blog is
dedicated to promoting a love for science in teenagers
by presenting complex topics in a clear and
understandable manner. It covers a wide range of
scientific subjects, from biology and chemistry to
astronomy and environmental science.
What is so special about Science News for
Students is its well-written, easy-to-understand
content that not only informs but also inspires. It gives
young learners the opportunity to stay updated on the
latest scientific advancements, encouraging their
curiosity and critical thinking.

The purpose of the teacher to have the students read the whole
post and then choose one particular blog to follow is that they
develop a more fluent reading in English. The instruction
provided – “Quickly go through the blogs in the post to have a
general idea of their content and then decide which one you
would like to follow” – focuses on the development of the
reading ability named.
