Science Daily Headline Assignment Instructions
Science Daily Headline assignments are always due the last Friday of the month unless it is a holiday. If the last Friday is a holiday, Mrs. Schenfield will announce an alternate date.

Each time you are assigned an article you will be given a specific date range for the article. PAY ATTENTION TO THE DATE RANGE AND MAKE SURE YOU
CHOOSE AN ARTICLE WITHIN THAT DATE RANGE.

Make sure you choose an article that you understand. Read the article over and over until you are able to write a 5-7 sentence summary of the article
WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE ARTICLE.

Print the article and highlight the date of the article.

Write or type your summary. Then choose three vocabulary words in the article to define. Define the terms according to the way they were used in the article. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE THE DEFINITIONS FROM AN ONLINE
SOURCE. Highlight the words in the article.

Look for any type of bias in the article. It could be an evolutionary bias, global warming bias, measurement bias, or any of the types of bias we discussed in the beginning of the year. Write about the bias you see in the article.

Tell me why you chose the article, what you liked or did not like about the article, and evaluate the usefulness of the article.

MAKE SURE YOU STAPLE YOUR SUMMARY ON THE FRONT OF THE ARTICLE
YOU PRINTED OFF OF THE WEBSITE
