How Can Reading Help You Live Longer?

A recent study by the Yale University School of Public Health has found that people who read live longer lives than people who do not read.

How can reading help you live a longer?

Read the articles listed below to find out.

Article 1
Article 2
Article 3

After you read each article take some notes on it in your English journal or on binder paper if you do not have a journal yet.  Be sure that your notes include the following information:


  1. Article title and author (if given)
  2. Name of the website.  
  3. Important words that you need to know.
  4. Important information from the article that helps you answer the question "How can reading help you live longer?"
After reading the three articles, what do you think?  Which article does the best job answering the question?  What makes it the best article?  How would you answer the question?

Illustrate your answer. 

All of your work for this assignment should fit onto one side of one piece of paper.  You do not have to stay between the lines. 

This assignment is due on Wednesday, August 24. It is a 30% assignment.
