Below are several relevant news articles that would make great topics for the Yesterday and Today assignment. Keep in mind, you will need to do more research – you should have several sources – a book, journal article, interview, news clip, and other resources make excellent sources. If you are concerned about the authenticity of a website, please send me the link via email and I will look into it. NO Wikipedia! I strongly encourage you to listen to what the news is covering when choosing a topic. *Remember, cite your sources and cite each time you paraphrase.
