Jobs1. Give each person in the group a # (1,2,3 or 4)

2. #4 – Pick up the table number bag of markers for your group and give one marker to each person

3. #2 – Pick up a stack of articles for your group

4. #1 – Pass out the articles

5. #3 – Set timer to 18 minutes. (Hyperlink on Desktop)

To Complete1. Create a sentence about yourself from the words in

the newspaper article

2. With your marker, “blackout” all the words you don’t need to write that sentence.

3. On a 3x5 card:

1. Creatively write your first name and last initial

2. Write your sentence using the unmarked words from your article

4. You will be sharing your sentence with the class tomorrow.
