Welcome back to current events after a few weeks of doing other things. I have now read and graded everything you've written and it seems that many of you are really getting a lot out of the assignment -- you've found interesting, informative, original articles that have a lot to do with your own lives, and your summaries and overall insights on these articles have been excellent.
Please don't fall into the trap, as some of you have, of finding and using the first article that remotely might have a little bit about money in it. Take some time to find something you're interested in. You have to do the assignment anyway; you might as well enjoy it and get something out of it.
Based on the score sheets I'm giving all of you, you'll have to do some entries on your own. I will accept posts up to December 24, midnight PST. That's 3 a.m. Christmas morning. Ho ho ho!
We've got three more sessions in the computer lab; please make the most of them.
Don't forget the 5 all-important questions:
1. What is your article about? Provide a brief summary.
2. Why did you choose it?
3. Do you agree with what's happening in the news item you chose? Why or why not?
4. Do you think the information has been presented fairly? Why or why not?
5. Would you use this news source again? Why or why not?
Don't forget to put the link in!!!
Happy writing!
