//Homework Assignment: Reading and Vocabulary Improvement//
 * 1) Read one interesting magazine article for every second class meeting, and tell me about it.
 * 2) Start the assignment by listing the article title first (in quotes), the name of the magazine (underlined, or bold if you use a computer), the page, and the date. I might like to find it and read it myself, but you don't have to bring the whole article in, unless you would just like to show it to me.
 * 3) Find five words you don't know, and list them. You don't have to write the definitions, just the words. We'll get to the definitions in class. If you can't find five words, pick a tougher article. No excuses. I'll get a good sense after the first couple of weeks of what articles are tough for you, and what isn't so hard. If you're picking words that are too easy for you, I'll just hand the assignment back and ask you to do it again.
 * 4) Finish by summarizing the article and reacting to it in 4-6 sentences. I want to know if you really read it, and I want to know what you thought about it. "Good story" is not enough. Let me know what you really thought about it.
 * 5) The assignment is due at the beginning of every second class meeting. I'll post this information on the web, and you'll have a record in your assignment sheet in the folder as well.
