Because of copyright restrictions, they cannot be printed or copied. When available, you can download a PDF version of lower and higher-level versions under the header that says “Download and Print.”

1. As HTML text: On each article page, there is a tab labeled “Story.” When you click this tab, the text of the article and its text features will appear below it in a web-friendly format.

2. In our new e-reader: Under the “Story” tab on each article page, there will be a link labeled “Digital Issue.” This link will open up the article in our new e-reader format, which can be projected to your whiteboard. If you want to view the entire magazine in the e-reader format, click the “Magazine View” link  located on the top of each issue page.

Please note that only lower-level versions of articles are printable. On-level versions of the articles are never printable.

Ready to try Storyworks 2's new-and-improved self-grading quizzes? First, go to Storyworks 2 Online and click on any article’s story card. Once it flips over, click “Resources.”

Now scroll down to the “Quizzes” section of the Resources. Hover your mouse over the “Google Form Quiz” thumbnail.

When you’re ready to give the quiz to your students, assign it using the “Share to Google Classroom” button or using the “Copy Link” button, share it through another learning management system, send it by email, copy and paste the link in a chat, embed it on your website, or share the link on social media.

Every quiz has an answer key for its multiple-choice questions already built in so that student responses can be graded automatically. The results are instantly organized into a spreadsheet and sent to a new folder in your Google Drive.

Best of all, Google provides immediate insights about individual and class responses in the “Responses” tab of the form, including:

• Frequently missed questions

• Graphs displaying class answer choices

• Average, median, and range of scores
  
  

Whenever you’re ready to add individual feedback to your students’ constructed response questions, they’ll all be waiting for you in the “Responses” tab of your form, or in the same folder as the spreadsheet in your Google Drive.

These quizzes allow you to provide highly customized feedback. If a student doesn’t understand a concept or could use extra practice, insert a link or any YouTube video so they can review material on their own.

Then, with a click of the “Release” button, graded quizzes are returned to your students via email or Google Classroom.
