Your article needs to consist of an introduction (3-5 sentences, starting with the sentence: In this article I am going to write.....)

Two paras with  headlines (catchy subtitles). Every paragraph should have an example, an explanation, and the follow up to the next para (about 5-8 sentences), etc and after those two paras you get your conclusion (2-3 lines) and your recommendation. 

Provide a short article for students to read or read it aloud to the class. Encourage discussion and ask students to share their thoughts.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
