My teacher wants my posts to look a certain way.
-
I would like all my posts for each category to be showing on the page (of their category) in a summarized state like my first post. Then you can click on the read more spot for each one. She doesn’t want pages and pages of posts. So I just edit the existing post to include the next one. But when you click each category it only shows a brief summary of the first post. I need it to show a brief summary for every post in that category.
Please HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello!
From what I understand you want each post to be placed under a category which is then linked to a specific page? -
Then please contact your teacher and have her or him tell you how to achieve what he or she wants.
Whether or not full posts or only excerpts appear on the dynamic Category pages is designed into the specific theme. In most themes what you get on the front page which by default displays all published posts on it the same display you get on a categories page. If the theme you use is not designed to produce what your teacher wants then you have two choices and they are (1) switch themes or (2) purchase annually renewable custom design upgrade.
NOTE: These themes provide automatic excerpts on the front page so you can check them out and see if the category display suits your requirements or not https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=17

Your site looks like it is working correctly – I think you only have one Post in each of 3 or 4 categories – you need more Posts in a category – I just looked at my site and each Post in a category has three lines then the next Post –
as noted above there are some different ways to display things – if you want to be a bit fancy

Setting your RSS Feed to summary here Settings — Reading controls only what goes out in the RSS Feed . If you want to display only excerpts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/ If you don’t want to do that then you can use a theme designed to display only excerpts on the front page automatically and make sure that it also displays on excerpts on the dynamic Categories pages.
