First Article of the week

Start your English Journal: 

• Your English Journal is a Google Doc you will be adding to all year long. 
• You will always add the newest work at the TOP of the document. (Later this will save you, and your teachers, lots of scrolling.)
• Today you will start your English Journal and share it with us. 
• Click the copy link for your period to get started. 
• Change the file name to remove "copy of" and change the name parts to your name.

Share your English Journal:
Click the blue share button and type in the email addresses we give you in class.

First Article of the Week: 
Most weeks we will assign you an Article of the Week.
The assignment is simple: read the article and write two paragraphs about it in your English Journal.
The first paragraph should be a summary of the facts and ideas in the article.
The second paragraph is your thoughts and opinions about what you read.

Get a trash bag. You know what to do with it right?
Clean up your room. (The world is messy. Start somewhere.)
