News articles header graphic

Remember - we read and summarize a news article every day. Most of the time they will be about technology-related topics, but not always. Almost always, you will submit your article reviews Fridays.

If you miss a day in class, you are still required to summarize the article from that day. The links to the articles we use for each day are found in the right hand column of this table. There are also extra copies of the articles from each day in the red assignment box.

The reading and content vocabulary questions will be among the items used on the weekly quiz.
