Napping Explanatory Performance Task
Task:
There has been much discussion in the news recently about the
role of sleep and the role of napping. How many hours of sleep
is enough? What is too much sleep? What is too little sleep?
How do naps fit into sleep cycles? The journalism club advisor
has asked you to research the roles of sleep and napping. As part
of your research, you have found three sources about sleep and
napping.
After you have reviewed these sources, you will answer some
questions about them. Briefly scan the sources and the questions
that follow. Then, go back and read the sources carefully so you
will have the information you will need to answer the questions
and complete your research. You may click on the Global Notes
button to take notes on the information you find in the sources
as you read. You may also use scratch paper to take notes.
In Part 2, you will write an explanatory article on a topic related
to the sources.
