The document provides instructions for an assignment where students will build up 70 points by completing tasks using news articles. It lists 20 possible tasks that can be completed for different point values, such as listing proper nouns (5 points), writing comprehension questions (15 points), writing a summary (15 points), or writing a poem (15 points). Students can choose which tasks they complete and are not required to do every task, but each task can only be used twice. The article title and author must be included for each task. Incomplete tasks receive no points.
