One Page Article Analysis
First, read a news story from the newspaper or the Internet. Answer the following questions regarding your news story: 1) What is the main issue, who are the main actors being discussed, what are your thoughts about this story?;
Second, choose one of the assigned articles from Canvas you read for this week. Answer the following questions regarding the assigned article: 1) What are the basics of this article (who, what, when, how, why, etc.); 2) What is the overall main point the author is trying to convince you of? 3) Do you agree with the authors argument? Why? Why not?
Finally, tie together your news story with what you learned from the assigned article, textbook readings, podcasts, videos, etc. for this week. Type your answers using your own words, no outline or bullets, complete sentences and paragraphs, single-spaced, full-page.
There are fifteen article analysis assignments required (50 points each), one due in the dropbox on Monday of each week by 10:30 am (no late work please). Each of these assignments requires the student to read articles assigned for the week on Canvas (for example: “Export This?”), as well as recent political news stories from a major daily periodical or e-news source (NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN Politics, Sacramento Bee, etc.). You must read the newspaper every day and choose a story about American politics for your weekly Article Analysis. We will discuss your news story at the beginning of class every Monday when I ask “So, what is going on in American politics today?”
The idea behind this assignment is to have students keep up on political events from throughout the country, put them in the context of broader conceptual thought (based on the assigned articles for the week), and then think critically about that news event. Students are expected to use their own thoughts and words in the written assignments. Use of ChatGPT or other AI tools to submit what should be original written work will be detected and given zero points.
The quality of writing should be college level, one full page, at least 300 words, double or single spaced, 12 pt font. You must include a citation of the source of your news article with the title, author’s name, periodical name, and date of publication (MLA or APA format). Please Submit Assignment as a .pdf or Word doc.
Plagiarism will result in zero points. I use a program called TurnItIn and other AI detectors to determine how much, if any, of your assignment has come directly from the Internet or is AI generated. So, please put everything in your own words. Do not cut and paste anything from the Internet or AI generated text.
I recommend students clip several political news articles from the newspaper or the internet each week. Then, in your article analysis, you can tie one or more of these stories to what you have been learning from the assigned articles, textbook, podcasts, and other course resources.
Be prepared to talk about your news story in class on Mondays.
