Below, I will give you a nice hefty collection of news sources for things 'tech'. Your job today is simple:
- Find more than one article reporting on the same tech news story
- Write your own version of that news story, in your own words.
- Finish by writing three questions that you have after writing the summary, and I will do my best to answer them
How to Tackle this:
- Find one article that interests you in particular.
- Read the first several paragraphs to get a good idea of what the story is about
- then, go search for another article on that same topic. (For this, I recommend using the Google News search)
- read a second article on the same topic
- now that you have multiple perspectives on the same story, you can start deciding what is important
- begin writing your summary
Things to consider:
- You should aim to have your story be a minimum of 150 words
- I will allow one direct quotation, but that doesn't count towards your word count
- A GOOD news story should always give the who, what, where, why, when, and how. Leaving any of those out requires special consideration.
Sources - use any/all of these, or find your own:

Go forth my young tech reporters!
