1. Read and complete 4 summaries of articles from each “Choices” magazine. Summaries will be from the main articles, not the short clips in the beginning and end of the magazine.  Summaries will include at least 4 major points of each article as well as a reflection of their thoughts about the article in paragraph form. The student is required to read the entire magazine each month and submit the summaries in the correct format: 1-2 pages, double-spaced, typed, 10-12 font. Total number of summaries: 16
