News Summaries: Most days we will read the newspaper in class.
Students will write one-paragraph summaries of one of the articles they
read. I look for good paragraphs with a topic sentence and 3-4
sentences of supporting details. Later in the semester students will
be required to write 2 summaries a day.
CNN/Cornell Notes:
A couple of times a week students will watch CNN News and take notes in
class using Cornell Notes. Cornell Notes involve using 2 columns: The
left (smaller) column is for major topics and themes and the right
(larger) column if for details. There is also a place to write a
summary at the bottom of the page; often students write an opinion on
one of the news stories here.
