Please read the following information:
*Students were assigned a Newsbowl category last week because they will participate in another Newbowl competition on this Friday. In order for them to be prepared for the competition each student was told to locate a notable article from last week’s news and write a brief summary about it. My students were also told to bring a copy of the article to school to share with their Newsbowl group. The summaries should be brief explaining who, when, where, what, why, and how. It is due on Wednesday, Feb. 17th.
