Assignment

Here are the details on your extra credit assignment should you choose to do it. If you do choose to work on this assignment you must read four different newspaper articles on four different issues that relate to something we’ve discussed in class, and for each article you need to write a one-page summary and analysis. The summary/analysis should be structured so that the first half of the page is a summary of what was discussed in the article. What is the controversy or issue being discussed by the author? The second half of the page should describe how it relates to something that we’ve discussed in class as well as a discussion of your personal opinions/beliefs regarding the subject and why you feel that way. (This is a federal government GOVT 2305).

These one-page summary/analyses should be one full page in length, double-spaced, and use 12-point Times New Roman font. Below I have listed the newspapers/sources that you may choose from:

The New York Times, Washington Post, Vox, Los Angeles Times, CNN.com, Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle, Time, Newsweek, Politico, Slate, National Review, and Texas Monthly

(And also need to attach article along with their analysis.)

Those are the only sources you may choose from for this assignment.
