This and next week

Hi!
This week we started reading the article "Thirty-eight Who Saw Murder Didn't Call the Police."
We'll finish reading it on Monday.
On Tuesday, we'll continue with the handout "Summarizing a text."
If you do not come with the text answered, we won't be able to move faster.
I am sending the ppts containing each class' material. Read them and if you have questions please ask them in class or just post them as comments.
