All Health students will be expected to select any 3 articles from the Current Health magazine supplied to them, answer the accompanying questions and hand it in on the appropriate due date. (or before) The student will staple the 3 reviews together in any order they wish. The teacher will select 1 of the reviews at random and multiply that grade times 3.
