feedback on the "newpaper" blog

Hello everyone!
I was pleased at the choice of articles for your blog and your summary. You did a good job selecting important information and communicating it. That is not an easy task.

One thing to be VERY CAREFUL about is taking too much language from the article. Most of you took phrases or even whole sentences from the original, and as you learned in your summary with Lili, a summary in English is supposed to be in your own words. We will work more on paraphrasing in class so that you feel comfortable using your own language.

Some of you had great comments for your classmates, some wrote just a few words, and some wrote not at all. Let's brainstorm the kinds of comments you can make.

All in all, your blogs are off to a great start. Keep communicating with each other.

Adrianne
