Today we will be reviewing the article from yesterday and looking at the steps in the example for creating an accurate Article Summary and MLA Article Summary Report. 

HERE IS A LINK TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM CLASS:

Here is the link to the article we are using as an example:
http://www.usnews.com/education/high-schools/articles/2011/07/14/study-emerging-technology-has-positive-impact-in-classroom

We will re-read it in class and review the example Article Summary Sheet and MLA Article Summary Report.  CLICK HERE to see the examples from yesterday's Class Blog (http://caatechnology.blogspot.com) entry.

I will be assigning one of the three articles below for you to read on your own.  You may turn in a handwritten Article Summary Question Sheet or use the link below to download an electronic version.  Your final MLA Article Summary Report must be submitted as follows:

Use a template to start the report.  It must have 1" margins on Top, Bottom, Left, and Right.  It must be Times New Roman Font Size 11 or 12.  You must have MLA heading, page number and the appropriate source information in the Header and Footer of the document.  All electronic submissions must be saved and emailed as PDF files.  Do not SHARE them from Google Drive.  They must be sent as attachments to my email address (hscribnercaa@gmail.com).

Here are the articles you will be working on:

This should be an easy project to complete.  Read the article, write the summary and draft the summary report in MLA format.

Good Luck,
