Writer's Journal entry: What is multitasking? Do you do it well? Give some examples of multitasking and how it fits into your life. Is it a valuable skill in today's society?

 

Take New York Times "task juggling" test to see how well you truly multitask.


Read two Wall Street Journal articles ("Does the Internet Make You Dumber?" and "Does the Internet Make You Smarter?") and answer questions about them on the handout.


Writer's journals were collected for a grade. 

Homework:  Wall Street Journal article responses due Thursday.
