We're moving on!!

We've looked at direct quotations and paraphrasing, now it's time to move on and look at summarizing. If you have not completed all three practice sentences from Monday's blog, make sure you send them to me by tomorrow. I will be grading them this weekend.

Before we move on, though, answer the question below.

light bulbs
 
There are three light switches up in the attic of an old house, which control three light bulbs down in the basement.  The problem is that you don't know which switch is connected to which bulb.  You can make one only trip down to the basement to figure this out.

How are you going to do it?

  6. see where the cords of each switch follow and figure out which one goes to the place that you want to lluminate. Most likely the middle one.

  7. turn on two of the switches and go down stairs to figure out which one is off, which should determine atleast 2 of the switches.
