Finding Articles and Summarizing


Today (2/5)- 
Below is a copy of the activity we will be doing in class. Feel free to print this off if you are ill or miss a day. Once you have completed this assignment, you will do an alphabox summary of today's independent reading. Once this is completed and handed in, then silently read at your computer.

Directions:  Go to the class blog and look at your peers’ interesting facts if you do not have an idea for your research topic.  Look at the additional information found on their blog posts for articles. Use resource links found on the blog, such as NPR, National Geographic, and so forth. The library databases will also have a lot of information on your topic. Print two articles related to your research topic. Read each article carefully, selecting the nine most important words for each, using those words write a paragraph summarizing the information you found. Please staple this sheet on top of your two articles.
