One Page Article Analysis
First, read a news story from the newspaper or the Internet. Answer the following questions regarding your news story: 1) What is the main issue, who are the main actors being discussed, what are your thoughts about this story?;
Second, for this week there really isn’t an assigned Canvas article in the usual sense. Instead, you are to read the Tips on Writing a Legislator. Then, you have some options.. You can:
1. Do the news story 1-2 paragraph analysis. In addition, you can write 1-2 paragraphs with your Final Thoughts about the class.
2. Write 3-4 paragraphs with your Final Thoughts about the class.
3. Write a one-page letter to an elected official, following the instructions on “Tips”.
The idea behind this assignment is to have students keep up on political events from throughout the country, put them in the context of broader conceptual thought (based on the assigned articles for the week), and then think critically about that news event. Students are expected to use their own thoughts and words in the written assignments. Use of ChatGPT or other AI tools to submit what should be original written work will be detected and given zero points.
The quality of writing should be college level, one full page, double or single spaced, 12 pt font. You must include a citation of the source of your news article with the Title, author’s name, periodical name, and date of publication (MLA or APA format). Please Submit Assignment as a .pdf or Word doc.
Plagiarism will result in zero points. I use a program called TurnItIn and other AI detectors to determine how much, if any, of your assignment has come directly from the Internet. So, please put everything in your own words. Do not cut and paste anything from the Internet.
I recommend students clip several political news articles from the newspaper or the internet each week. Then, in your article analysis, you can tie one or more of these stories to what you have been learning from the assigned articles, textbook, podcasts, and other course resources.
Be prepared to talk about your news story in class on Mondays.
