Article Summaries 11th Grade 5th Grading Period

Okay, new idea. Since most of your grades are going to be destroyed by article summaries, I have a new plan. There will be one post this grading period for each grade. You must post 4 different article summaries by 12:30 on April 30th. This means that you can post 4 in a row, or one a week, or any combination that you desire. If you have already submitted articles, they will still count.

Also, you must post one response to another student's article summary. This means that if nobody turns in an article summary until the last minute, all of you will lose points.

In conclusion, by April 30th, 12:30, you will have 4 article summaries and 1 response to another student's summary. That is worth 25 points, or close to a test grade. Easy, right?

Enjoy,
Mr. Mills

P.S. There are already some articles posted if you look.
