7. Round 1 Using the Article Summary rubric, grade the following: Coroner: Autopsy showed Jackson death a homicide By ANTHONY McCARTNEY,AP Entertainment Writer Associated Press This article that I read is a very intresting one. This is talking about Micheal Jackson's death and what his doctor Murray had to do with it. Attorney J. Michael Flanagan suggested Jackson could have swallowed the drug which is meant to be administered intravenous thats what he thinks Jackson did but he wasn't sure at that point he was not correct, because the facts of the autopsy that Micheal Jackson did not swallow the pill. Although if they didn't find this about Jackson, either way Murray would still be held accountable for not watching over Micheal Jackson. Although he is dead this case is still being looked over and this is what happened so far. please record your group’s thoughts and report it to the class.

8. Grade: C • Gives basic details • Michael Jackson’s death is still being investigated • His doctor is being held responsible for not keeping a close enough watch on Jackson’s medication

9. Round 2 Using the Article Summary rubric, grade the following: Army wants helicopter training the Big Island By Associated Press Associated Press This article is about an army that wants to train soldiers and helicopter training on the Big Island for an Afghanistan deployment. The Schofield Barracks would run training exercises at Pohakuloa Training Area landing places on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. But the Board refused the proposal because of the drills would expand the Training areas. The Hawaii Volcanoes International park is scared that the helicopters would hit the endangered birds. My opinion on this article is that it would be good if they don’t disturb the endangered animals and birds. They can practice somewhere else but not in the Hawaiian Islands. please record your group’s thoughts and report it to the class.

10. Grade: B • Includes opinion, however, it seems incomplete. • If training shouldn’t be done on the islands, then where should the army train its soldiers? • Why would another location be better?

Reyes This article is about medical waste and other trash on the beaches and how they deal with it. If you find any medical waste on the beach you are urged to call 668-2985. I think this is nasty because not only is there dirty water, but now there is medical waste that, who knows, could give you a third arm or something. please record your group’s thoughts and report it to the class.

It turns out that it wasn't him, that raped the girls. Either the lady who identified him as the raper was mistaken or she just wanted him in jail, I really don't know. I just feel bad for the guy. Just because a lady thought it was him he had to spend 22 years in jail for a crime he never committed. He even missed his own daughters birth. At his trial he finally met his daughter, she was already a grown lady. Sucks to be him. please record your group’s thoughts and report it to the class.
