At the beginning of the semester you are asked to pick a country (that is not your home country)
whose international news you will follow over the course of the quarter. Roughly every three
weeks, you will turn in a 2-page summary and analysis of international news that affects your
country, not just on affairs that are purely domestic. \u00a0I will periodically take time in class to allow
you to share what is going on, and you will become our resident international correspondent on
your country of choice. You need to clear your country with me before you begin, so we don\u2019t
have duplicates. \u00a0
You can search in many reputable news sources, but a good place to start is the New York
Times International\/Global section. \u00a0World Press \u2013 www.worldpress.org (Links to an external
site.)Links to an external site. \u2013 is also helpful. \u00a0
Format:
\uf0b7 Indicate which World News assignment you\u2019re submitting (WN #1, WN #2, etc.)
\uf0b7 State which country you are following
\uf0b7 Have an interesting title that is responsive to your report
\uf0b7 Begin with a short paragraph (1\/3 page) that ends with a thesis statement in bold
\uf0b7 The thesis should reflect your analysis of the situation \u2013 i.e. what you think about what
you\u2019re writing about
\uf0b7 Cite sources properly at the end (don\u2019t just provide web links)
\uf0b7 Have a minimum of two sources
World News papers will be graded on a 4.0 scale per standards of engagement, depth of
analysis, and carefully written prose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
