RECURRING HOMEWORK CHANGE: Weekly news

We are modifying the Democracy Now assignment (link here).  You are no longer required to watch Democracy Now on Tuesdays and Thursdays and write 5 questions and 5 summaries. 


The new assignment

Twice a week, watch the news.  The source can be of your choice.  If you want to watch TV news, great.  If you want to use internet sources, great.  If you listen to news on the radio in your car, great.  Here are some suggested sources (in alphabetical order):

On TV
ABC
CBSCNN
Fox News
MSNBC
NBC

Radio
National Public Radio - 91.5 FM

Online
Al Jazeera - http://www.aljazeera.com/
BBC - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/
Democracy Now - http://www.democracynow.org/
National Public Radio - http://www.npr.org/
The Young Turks - http://www.youtube.com/theyoungturks



Then write a response to the news.  It can be a list of questions you have.  It can be summaries of the stories.  It can be an in depth response about one or two stories.  Get at least a half page of writing down in response to the news twice a week, and turn both responses in every Friday.


Recurring due date
Two responses, every Friday.
