Online Summary - Monday, February 14, 2011- English 11

Step 1: Open the attached file and read the article and short videos. Write a Summary of the story, checking your notes to make sure you remember all the ticky rules. Remember, the length of most summaries is about one quarter the length of the original piece.

Step 2: Write a Personal Response to the story.

Step 3: Create a group of 3 to 4 people. Read each other's summaries. If
you see an error, tell the writer to correct it (gracefully). Record the names of the readers at the bottom of your summary.

Step 4: Taking turns, read your Responses out loud. Discuss.

Step 6: Send your Summary (not your response) to me through Edmodo. Remember to type in your class code and not my name. (C-Block: 335y5p) (D-Block: mfdj0k) Copy and paste the assignment; do not use an attachment.
