The article should be two and a half to three pages in length, double spaced. Please be careful with fact errors. Proofread very carefully before turning in Monday at the start of class. 2.

Story should include several quotes interwoven throughout story. 4. Lab 9: Turn in environment-health-science article first draft. Sign up for a slot for next Wednesday's class.
