Please read a current political article from the credible source of your choice and respond to it in a well-developed 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 with the source, title, and author (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 (i.e. website or newspaper).
Other Requests:
- Stay focused on the issues in the article. Resist the temptation to dive into a rant or to make it entirely about your opinion.
- Be civil and understanding of people who may have different views (this applies to comments, too) while being clear.
Have a wonderful spring break!
