Using the internet should be quick and easy. Good websites are designed to facilitate this.
Your internet reading activity for today is to go to a website and find some information on it as fast as you can. Remember to read a page like a clock -- Start at 12:00 and read from there to 11:00 -- from top to the right and in the middle last.
This is the website: www.cnn.com
Find this information from the website homepage. Please keep track of how long it takes you to find the answers. (Use a timer). Note where on the blog you found the information, then note your answer.
1. How many CNN blogs are there? Where on the webpage did you find this?
2. Where on the website can I log in or sign up?
3. What is the title of the top story? And where on the webpage is it.
4. Where can I find hot topics? What is the no. 1 hot topic?
5. How many news sections are there? (For example, technology.) Where can you find this?
6. Where can you search CNN?
7. How many ads are there on the homepage? Where are they?

Today, I want you to make sure your blog is up to date (see today's handout "Your Blog So Far")
Your writing task (Post #5 ) is to find a Far Side cartoon. Google 'Far Side' and browse images. Find one cartoon you like and copy and paste it into your blog post. Then write a short story about the cartoon.
Remember to end the story with a lesson or moral (ex. 'Don't tell lies or no one will believe you when you tell the truth.') Please fix the errors that blogger underlines in red.
