03.18 - Malaysia Airline Summary Game, Notecards

Everyone started class today by choosing a partner and working with that partner to summarize an article that I provided in class. Directions for this activity are below.

Article: Missing Malaysia Plane

After this activity, everyone had the remaining time in the period to work on their notecards for the occupations research paper. Everyone should be wrapping up these notecards in class tomorrow so that we can start on the outline during Wednesday's class and start writing the paper in class on Thursday. Initial drafts of this section of the paper should be submitted by 2 p.m. on Friday.
