Questions: Article Processing Questions
One of the reading questions asks that you underline different parts of the article. This means you will probably want a printed copy of the article (either print the one above or see Mr. Collins for a copy)


---------------------------Note-----------------------------
 A number of people were struggling with the article from Wednesday's class titled "Reaching my Autistic Son Through Disney." Most struggles were related to the length of the piece. I created an abridged version of the story which people can read and use to complete the assignment. See the links below.

If you enjoy this version, you may want to read the full version and see what happened with Owen as he grew up and went to college.

As people finished this article, they were able to begin looking for sources and creating notecards for the second section of our research paper (see below for details).

Section 2 - Current Information (700 words)
(A one sentence answer to any of the questions below would serve as a main idea of your paragraph.)

What sort of education, certification, or licensing does this occupation require?
What does someone doing this occupation make?
What tools do people use in this occupation today?
How has the occupation changed and become different from its early history?
How has technology changed the way this occupation is done?
What skills does this occupation require now?

Everyone needs to find two new sources for this section of the paper.
(Information from sources used in the first section of the paper can still be used in this section.)


Notecard Requirements:
10 notecards total
     2 summary notecards
     2 paraphrase notecards
     2 quotation notecards
     4 free choice notecards (summary, paraphrase, or quotation)

Homework:
