At least twice this semester you will be required to create a summary (post) for a current event and/or respond to other student's summaries (comments). The first assignment will be to comment on a post that I made. You will be graded on how relevant and in depth your comment is. It needs to show that you have read my post or the original article as well as created a relevant thought or question on the topic.
Here are some guidelines for comments:
- Directly address the material or ideas presented in the post
- Brings up a new perspective or idea
- References other sources as support for their argument
- Uses respectful academic language while agreeing and disagreeing with posts
Here are some guidelines for posts:
- Introduces a new current event topic that has not yet been posted
- Provides a link to an article from a reliable news source (see list to the right)
- Includes embedded images, video, charts, cartoon, etc.
- Includes a summary of the news article (in approximately 4-6 sentences)
- Connects current event to historical content (in approximately 1 sentence)–MUST connect with US History
- Poses an issue or question for discussion
- Is approximately 50-150 words
Obama is too busy trying to protect young immigrant children. too busy bringing about change that should have and been made years ago to consider a probational period which gives people to respond to his order. Republicans are just trying to postpone that kind of change that protects something not caucasian. Bush would declare war and republicans would support with no hesitation. Obama wants to help a group of immigrants, and republcans create a set back. Obama is a real one, because his main priority is to make presidential decisions that bring about CHANGE. Obama is like, when Beyonce dropped her album,,,, no warnings. no advertising. she DROPPED her album and obama dropped his executive order
