1) Don’t use any quoted material in your assignments. Describe the articles contents in your own words
2) Please follow the formatting instructions EXACTLY AS WRITTEN.
Single space, Times New Roman, 12pt, follow the 3 paragraph format,
include the hyperlink to the article and list the news source
3)
Only use a mainstream media outlet as the source. This is any news
source or outlet that reports on GENERAL or MAINSTREAM news. This means
do not use: National Geographic, Sierra Club newsletters, ScienceDaily,
any type of blog. You can use ANY NEWS SOURCE – big names are fine –
BBC, San Diego Tribune, LA Times, Fox News, CBC/NBC/ABC, but I read some
from small or less commonly used sources like The Morning Call (from
Pennsylvania), Deutche Welle (Germany), and another local news source
from Michigan. Love it!
4) Try to pick a very current article (but anything within the last 6 months is ok).
5) follow the example rubric below
