3.  "Letter from Birmingham Jail"  --  Today you will open in your Google Docs ("shared with me") Martin Luther King's letter.  Since I began this assignment with paper, we will complete it on paper.  You will be looking at a "view only" document as we read and as you complete the paraphrasing on paper.  I also have a revision for your second page of the handout.  Please carefully remove the staple and I will give you the revised page.

      We are paraphrasing the text for main ideas.  With some paragraphs we have to formulate the main idea by looking at the details.  In other places we find the main idea expressed in a key sentence.
