Homework for Monday, July 19

Go to the New York Times website (see lab activity for Tuesday, July 13) and choose a story of your own.  Write:  5 things you learned from the story and 1 discussion question.  (Think about the questions we talked about on Wednesday).  On Monday, you will meet with other classmates and explain what you learned and ask them your question.  Don't ask them for facts that you learned!  Remember they didn't watch and listen to the story!
