Blog 6 Archive: How Stuff Works

One of the great skills for collegiate writing is summarizing--taking something long /complex and shortening/simplifying it. To tie this skill in with the new unit, you will be summarizing a process. Go to howstuffworks.com, a site designed to explain the process of virtually anything, and select a process to summarize. Choose anything--an amplifier, an airbag, the stock market. Read about it, and in your own words, summarize the process so we can all learn about it too.
