Good work on choosing non-fiction texts and explaining why you made your choice. This week keep it simple. You are supposed to read five news articles for the summer assignment. If you haven't started reading your news articles, maybe choose a theme like immigration or economic policy(tariffs) or education or something that interests you. For each article you read please provide an MLA citation AND a paragraph summary. On this Discussion Board simply write a paragraph summary for one of your articles. Just do one(1!) for the discussion board. AND to help you keep pace with your work load, remember you ought to be finishing up soon with your non-fiction read. For this next month, read your articles AND read the _Elements of Style_ by Strunk and White 4th edition-- it's very short. The title is a link to a free edition. For this part of your summer assignment you are supposed to write a response for each chapter-- there are 5.
I hope your summer meets your needs: restful; action packed; full of family; whatever. This last week my family and I went to the Grand Canyon NP and Zion NP-- good times. I look forward to reading your entries and I'm glad we have an opportunity to keep our skills sharp and prepare for next year. Our next discussion board post will be August 5. In August we can read _the Awakening_ by Kate Chopin together. All of the discussion board questions will be from the short novel. Your news article post is due Monday, June 25 by 10PM. Cheers.
