Today's Assignment: 4/24

Find an interesting article online and paraphrase 2 paragraphs from it.  If you want to paraphrase one very long paragraph, that is acceptable.

Try to pick an objective, respected source.  Wikipedia, blogs, and fan sites are not objective or respected. 

Also, make sure your source article is originally written in English and from an English magazine or newspaper.

Include a citation and a reference (your reference should include the link).

See p.306-308 for a reminder about citations and references. 

   *Post your 2-paragraph paraphrase, citation, and reference on your blog page.

Blog Topic 5:

You just returned from spring break.  Did you learn/ observe anything new about the United States or American culture?  Did you experieince anything new and worth sharing?

If you didn't learn anything last week, think of something you have learned or experienced during your entire time here. What things about this culture are different than you thought?  What things match your expectations?
