Your scholars may have an idea of who Dick Clark is, but do they understand the role he has played in American history for over 50 years? Give learners some practice with media literacy as they read an article about Clark's life and fill in blanks for a cloze activity. The activity seems more appropriate for a differentiated approach, as it copies an excerpt of the article verbatim and leaves spaces where readers fill in 19 select words. The article includes images and is idea for marking the text and vocabulary in context.
