3. FOR EACH ARTICLE, please do the following FOUR things to demonstrate that you have read each article:
i. Print each article as a PDF document you will submit these as part of your assignment.
To print an online article as a PDF document, you may need to first save it as a PDF file (the web link and date will usually be displayed at the top or bottom of each page of the saved page). You can then print the saved PDF document. If you have any questions about printing PDF documents, please contact the course director (Dr. Czaban).
If youre submitting a newspaper article and dont have access to an online version of it that you can print out, you may cut the article out and tape it directly to a blank page and submit this.
ii. Underline or highlight key sentences within each of the articles you submit. These sentences should refer to pertinent information about the article.
iii. In your own words, summarize each article in 8 – 15 sentences. Each summary must relate to the subject discussed in the article and must discuss/include the details and explanations presented in the article (in your own words). Label this as Answer #1.
iv. In your own words, state in 6 – 10 sentences, your analysis of the subject and conclusions in each article. Each analysis should clearly present YOUR reasoning for your conclusions and opinions about the article. Label this as Answer #2.
