**This is a Reading Participation Grade**

Choose a site that interests you from the list below.  Choose an article to read.  BUT... Read the posts first.

You MAY read the same article as another classmate but you MAY NOT write the same comments.  

IF FOR SOME REASON YOU CANNOT DO THE POST ONLINE, WRITE YOUR WORK ON A SHEET OF PAPER AND TURN IT IN FOR CREDIT.


Once you've read the article, post a comment about the article you read in the comment box below.
Include the following:

1. Link to website and article (copy and paste it from the website)
2. Title of the article
3. List three facts you learned from reading the article
4. Tell how this article relates to you.  What connection does it have with you?

Look back at my post on 1/11/13 for an example.

Your assignment is to read at least ONE article each week and make ONE post each week.  Every week, I will make a new post so check back each weekend for the post for the upcoming week.
