News Digest 2 (India)

To get a good grading in the assignment :- The essay “you comments” must explores its stated problem with commentary that is relevant and thoughtful, offers an insight that suggests some new conclusion from what has been explored, and is largely free of errors in mechanics (i.e., coherence, grammar, spelling, and punctuation).

For the India News Digest assignments, you should read regularly:

• The Hindu http://www.thehindu.com/
• The New Indian Express http://www.newindianexpress.com/
• The Hindustan Times http://www.hindustantimes.com/

In addition to the above sites, you should also read in the following:

• http://www.latimes.com/world/asia/
• http://www.bbc.com/news/world/asia/india

In addition, track the following:

• The temperature in Bombay and New Delhi,(make sure to indicate whether in Centigrade or Fahrenheit degrees), and
• The exchange rate for the rupee .

Entries should contain a link to the news stories and topics discussed, a contextualization of the story or topic (for example, how it relates to something talked about in class, another class, your life, or why it interests you), your interpretation of how the story is presented (what kind of bias or spin does the source put on the story), and why you think the story or topic is relevant to your understanding of India.

I lost 20 points for assignment 1 because of the following reason:

"please provide more commentary - 1 or two sentences is not sufficient for maximum points -  i suggest positing why/how questions to drive more interpretation and exploration of topics."
