Because of the strike, I´m putting your assignments on my blog so you can do them despite us not having class. Please go to the lab or work from home to complete the following before our last class (June 28, 2007):
1. Post Assignment 5: Summary Writing to your blog. For directions, see the assignment below.
2. English Discoveries weeks 10 & 11
When you are done, finish any assignments from English Discoveries weeks 1 – 7. Then, edit your blog using the following tips:
Blog tips:
1. Write the assignment number and title in the subject line of your blog.
2. Make sure your full name appears on the first page of your blog. You can add it to your settings or profile, or write it in your entries.
3. Spell check all your posts. The icon with ABC and a checkmark is the spell check button on Blogger.
4. Publish everything you have done.
If there is anything you couldn’t finish during this class, finish it before next class! The computer lab is open every day except Sunday and you can work on your blog from home. Email me at kvarlyguina AT gmail DOT com if you have any questions.

Assignment 5: Summary Writing
Today's blog assignment is to write a summary. This is the most important blog post so far, so show your best work!
Directions:
1. Look for a short article connected to your studies (1 - 2 pages). Some places to look: The New York Times or The British Broadcasting Corporation or CNN.
2. Read the article and look up any words you don't know using a dictionary.
3. Make a 100 - 200 word summary of the article. A helpful website for writing summaries is here.
4. You must post to your blog by the end of class today. You can edit your entry later this week, but post your entry instead of just saving it.
Recommendations:
1. Find an article that really interests you.
2. Make sure your post includes the title and author of the original article. If your article is available online, link to the article from your post.
3. Spell check your entry and read it over several times to make sure it says exactly what you want it to say.
