Memo #1 - In memo format (format will be provided on D2L), 2 pages or less, provide a short summary

of the following chapter, identify key takeaways from the chapter, and provide a current and relevant

example where this is in play (typically, you will find this in the news. DO NOT PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE

FROM THE TEXTBOOK):

• Ch. 1 – Globalization

I would recommend reading the chapter once through and then go back and re-read it taking

notes. Then, I suggest you think of the key point or two that you want to get across in your memo and

provide an example that incorporates the key point(s) of all the related material. Do not simply define

or describe what the chapters are about. Your memo should be written in such a way that you can

demonstrate your understanding of the material (in assigned chapters and any other material provided

on that topic).
