News homework

Each student will be required over the course of the semester to submit a total of 5 news about their individual country of study. These news articles should address the particular topics we are discussing in class as indicated in the assignment titles. The student should be prepared to discuss the news in class.

Each news assignment must be submitted on line on the day it is due. The assignment must be submitted using the given template that cites the source by name, the date of the article, and gives the link (or submits a hardcopy from newspaper or magazine), lists the news article title, summarizes the article, and presents your analysis. Articles that are not on this template (or at least in this format) will NOT be accepted.

Each news article is worth 2.5 points toward your grade. (12.5 points total for the news component of your grade.)
