1. There are post-it notes on your tables. Take two notes. Write down the topics about which you read. Put your name at the bottom of the post-it. Post the notes on white board. Let's see which topics seem to be most popular now.
2. Select one of your summaries to share with a neighbor or two. (10 minutes to read two or three summaries of others)
3. What did you learn?
4. It is now time to select a topic for further research and writing. You will be writing a cause/effect essay. Here's how! http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/composition/cause_effect.htm
