Simple

I found this interesting article:

Please read the article and then post a summary. Make sure you are answering the essential questions: who, what, where, when, why, how. Please include supporting detail. A good trick for summaries is to think of writing a shorter article for someone who has never read the article. They don't need to know every detail but they do need to know the main idea.

Stories.

Welcome Back,

I hope you had a wonderful break from blogging. This week we are reading and writing success stories!

Please go to the following link:

http://condor.depaul.edu/~cwren/booklets/college/pp0-1.htm

In order to avoid everyone doing the same story please read the success story that correlates with your Communication Skills period. For example, if you are in 3rd period C.S. do the third story listed in the table of contents. Another example, if you are in 8th period C.S. do the eighth story listed in the table of contents.

Your assignment is to read one of the assigned success stories and post a summary on the thread. Once completed, you should then write a personal success story on how you overcame a learning disability, or how you are going to overcome your learning disability. There is no desired length, but your summary should include all of the main points and your personal story should go to an appropriate length (based on teacher's opinion)

If you have any questions, please feel free to come and talk with me. I will not answer questions over the weekend.

Remember have fun with the success story. This can be both informative and creative!

Mr.Moore
