Print and read the  article  "New ways to strike it rich on the Web." (I have copies if you cannot print).  Underline/highlight evidence that supports the title.
When you are done reading/highlighting, go back and break the article up into at least 3 sections.  On a sheet of notebook paper, summarize each of the sections in your words.  It is entirely up to you as to where you break the article up.  Make sure you break it into at least 3 sections though and summarize.  
Staple your summary and the article together and hand in to me.
