Use an article from an appropriate modern news outlet: New York Times, BBC, Smithsonian, National Geographic, etc
What is a News Article? A news article is not a summary of the topic. It is not an academic article. It is a modern news item written for people who read the news. You can find news articles where you find the news of the day. You are going to learn to differentiate between academic articles and news articles. When you learn to bring different kinds of sources into your papers, your work will improve.
All papers should be double-spaced using 12-point, Times New Roman font. The assignment is worth 50 total points. When you are ready to submit, you will do so from this page. It will go through Unicheck to check for plagiarism. A summary should still be in your own words, so there should not be any plagiarism. THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL BE DUE ON JANUARY 27. Send me a link before the due date so I know you are hard at work. Do not send me a link on January 27. That’s called procrastination!
On the upper-left side of your paper, you will need to have the following:
