Please read the following information:
*Students will participate in another Newsbowl activity next Thursday. Each student was assigned a Newsbowl category and is expected to locate & summarize an article about their assigned category, and bring the article to school. Remember each article should be notable news regarding the week of Jan. 23 – Jan. 29th only. The categories are: world news, national news, sports, arts and entertainment, family and society. Recommended periodicals include: newspapers, news magazines, online articles, etc. Online articles must have the website address and the date it was obtained.
*The summary should be brief including who, when, where, what, why, and how. It is now due on
Thursday, Feb. 3rd. instead of Wednesday because I want the math period 2&3 students to have
time to study for the math test.
*There will be a S.S. test on Thursday, Feb. 17th. A study guide will be sent home this week.
