You can access our new e-reader by clicking the “Magazine View” link on the issue page. This will allow you to browse the entire magazine digitally. Each individual article page has an e-reader link on “The Story” tab as well. You can view an individual story by clicking the image of the article or the link under the text that says, “Digital Issue.” These digital articles can be read on computers and tablets or projected for your class. 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.”

For articles in the 2018-2019 school year, there are two ways to view articles on Scope Online.

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.

For articles prior to the 2018-2019 school year, you can only access articles via the e-reader.

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

To share to Google Classroom, simply go to Scope Online and click on any Scope article’s story card. Once it flips over, click “Story.”  

The “Share to Google Classroom” button can be found by clicking the "share" icon in the top right corner. It is located under “Bookmark & Share.”

Once you click the “Share to Google Classroom” button, you will need to:

1. Choose your class.

2. Choose an action: “Create assignment,” “Ask a question,” or “Make an announcement.”

3. Click “GO.”

From here, fill in the details of your assignment in your Class Stream as you usually do, assigning it to specific students or multiple classes, and choosing a date to push into your stream.

One option is to copy the link of the article or resource and paste it into the body of an email, chat, or learning management system. For activity sheets, you also have the option to download the PDF to your computer and attach the file to an email or upload it to a file-sharing site like Dropbox.

The ability to download is indicated by an icon with a downwards arrow with a line under it. Once you open the PDF in your browser or Adobe Acrobat, you may choose to print the file.

Ready to try Scope’s new-and-improved self-grading quizzes? First, go to Scope 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 can be 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.

One option is to copy the link of the article or resource and paste it into the body of an email, chat, or learning management system.
