For today’s beginning of class writing assignment, create a memo in Microsoft Word addressed to Prof. Ellis with the subject, “Simple Word Summary.”
Using xkcd’s Simple Writer, write one or two sentences summarizing the article that you read for today’s class. You may only use the 1,000 most commonly used English words to write your summary. This will require inventiveness on your part to simplify what you are saying using only these words. The same will be true for any jargon that you want to reference–how can you simplify those? Copy-and-paste your summary sentences into the memo that you began in Microsoft Word.
End your memo with a References section followed by an APA bibliographic entry for your article.
Copy-and-paste your memo into a comment made to this blog post.

The owners should be there for them without having to make up reasons why they can’t be.
