This first video is to explain how to do the first examples

Today we are choosing from one of three articles to represent.  Students will write an article summary based upon their article.  They are to fill complete their summary either in formal handwriting or typed double-spaced.  Once students have completed their work they are to attach a rubric filled out declaring their projected assessment.

Once their assignment is physically handed in they are to post it on their blog and then submit a link to their blog posting when submitting their assignment on Edsby.

Here are the assignment items for download and print:
