Summarizing the News

We all know that reporters get paid to give us the facts, but is every single last word always necessary? Today you're going to decide. We're going to put those spectacular summarizing skills to work - head on over to Tween Tribune and take those skills for a test drive. Here's what I'd like you to do:

  1. Go to Tween Tribune.
  2. Look all around the website and find your FAVORITE news article (not editorial/opinion piece).
  3. Read the article.
  4. Attempt to summarize the article for $5.00 or less!
  5. Post your award-worthy summaries here, as a comment on THIS post!
If you find multiple articles that you think are really interesting, or maybe even funny, then feel free to attempt more than one summary and comment!
