Please read a current political article from the source of your choice and respond to it in a 2-paragraph blog post. Because of the reading element, this single post will be worth 20 points instead of 10.
To get the most possible credit, you should:
- Include a link to the article (Hint: selecting your text and pressing ctrl / cmd -K allows you to insert a link without it looking like an ugly link).
- Summarize and explain the author's main point(s) fairly, whether or not you agree.
- Provide your opinion / response. You may want to acknowledge issues that you don't have enough background knowledge to adequately respond to and consider how you might learn more.
- Explain how you chose your article, both the topic and the source (website or newspaper).
Other Requests:
- Stay focused on the issues in the article. Resist the temptation to dive into a rant.
- Be civil and understanding of people who may have different views (this applies to comments, too) while being clear.
