In the News Posts

If you come across an article that seems relevant to our assigned readings, add create a post for the category/area called  “In the News” (until you come up with a better title). These posts do not have to fulfill all the post specifications but they should provide an active hyperlink to the article, explain in 1-3 sentences how and why you think it’s relevant to our readings and what question it raises. Include a citation. 

Note: An easy way to generate a citation for an online source is to make a Zotero account, create a folder for our class, save the article into the folder, and then right click on the entry, and choose “create a bibliography from item.” Choose MLA Style and Zotero will generate a citation into your clipboard that you can paste right into your post. Voila! (Check for accuracy because  Zotero often leaves out the author or gets the title wrong for web articles.

We’ll need to come up with a policy for assigning additional articles. Maybe if you find one that you think is so perfect and relevant that we all must read it, you can create your “in the News” post and email me to request that I also put it on the Calendar and notify the whole class to read it. I think we’d need at least 2 days advance notice to add a short article, and maybe 3-5 days for anything longer. But I’m open to your suggestions.
