8th Grade

Today in class you will summarize an article of your choice.

 The article must be AT LEAST two pages. For every page, I would like a one paragraph summary.

For a grade,  e-mail the paragraph summaries to me: teacherkait@gmail.com

If you did not complete your homework assignment from Tuesday, that must be done first. Then this task becomes homework. 

I have articles for use that are printed if you cannot find something online that interests you.
