We're running a interdisciplinary ("-ary"means "having to do with," "discipline" means "school subject, " and "inter-" means between, so "interdisciplinary" means "between two subjects" reading to both practice our reading comprehension and analysis and to learn more about how different forms of energy impact the world around us.

Here's the article - "Sweden Imports Waste from European Neighbors to Fuel Waste-to-Energy Plan."
Click on the "Read More" for the Complete Instructions.
1. Open a document (if working on a computer) or take out a piece of paper (if not working on a computer) and title it "Sweden Article State-Explain-Example Paragraphs."
2. Read over the three questions below. Copy and paste them into the document if you wish. "Counterintuitively" means "in a way that is" (-ively) different from (counter) what you would have thought (intuit)"
Q1. The article claims, counterintuitively, that “Sweden’s waste recycling program is too successful.” What does the author mean by this? What arguments and evidence does the author present to explain and try to prove this claim?
Q2. The article describes a relationship between Norway and Sweden with regard to waste. Which country does the author argue benefits more from the relationship? Why?
Q3. Based on your reading of the article, what are the drawbacks of Sweden’s plan?
3. Open another window or tab and click on the link - read the article.
4. Answer the three questions with one complete State-Explain-Example paragraph each. You should be writing five to seven sentences. If you need a quick review, I've embedded the steps below.
