Blog Entry Guidelines<\/p>\n
Blog entries are submitted through the \u201cCurrent Events Blog\u201d link under information. <\/p>\n
\u2022 Choose a current event article and\/or video clip that is relevant to the class from a major news organization (examples: CNN, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, PBS, MSNBC, BBC, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, NPR, etc.) You may initially read about an issue in the Daily Skimm, but then do further research to get a more detailed story. <\/p>\n
\u2022 Read the article and\/or watch the video<\/p>\n
\u2022 Summarize the content of the article in one paragraph. You do not need to go into significant detail, but imagine you are explaining the article to your roommate \u2013 how would you describe it?<\/p>\n
\u2022 In the second paragraph, make a connection to something we have talked about in class and\/or an article we have read and\/or something you hope we do talk about \u2013 something that worries you etc. <\/p>\n
\u2022 Include a link to the article and\/or video that you use.<\/p>\n
\u2022 When you post your blog, use your name as the name of the blog. Put all entries under your name so it is a continuous blog. It is easier to read if you cut and paste rather than attach a document. <\/p>\n
\u2022 Other students may have chosen the same article and\/or same event and that is fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
