Instructions, Format, and Sample of Discussion of Current Event

In my weekly class email, a group of students will be assigned to briefly analyze a current

political event of their choice and post their analysis on Titanium. The next week, that same

group of students will be required to post on Titanium a comment on (or “reply” to) another

student’s analysis. Then, time permitting, we will have an active discussion and debate about

the more interesting Titanium discussion posts in class.

Please make sure your discussion and posts are submitted within the required timeframe to

receive credit.

Instructions for Discussion of Current Event:

Find and read an article or two online, in the newspaper, in a magazine, etc. that deals with a

government/political issue that interests you. Write one paragraph that summarizes the key

points and facts of the article(s). Then write one paragraph about your opinions, views, and

analysis of the article.

Format:

1 - Basic subject matter of your current event in the “subject” field of your post on Titanium

2 - Name of Student

3 - Title of Article(s)

4 - Source of Article(s)

5 - Link to Article(s) (if online)
