purpose of this assignment
Looking about online for websites on the issue you’ve chosen will help you consider your issue from different perspectives and see how others approach thinking about the issue. This is also a form of research -- which we will be discussing in class. Also, by looking at different kinds of websites, you can consider the reliability of the information on the sites.
In thinking about which social issue to investigate and write about this quarter, you might consider the topics on this list, or choose another topic that you believe is important, timely, and in need of advocacy.
what do do
Using your favorite search engine, I want you to find 6 different websites on the issue you have chosen. Find the following kinds of websites:
- Find two organizations that do work related to the issue you have raised -- but that take differing positions relative to the issue.
- Find two websites by individual people where as least some of the website focuses on your issue -- and where the positions offered differ.
- Find two online articles related to your issue -- but make sure the two articles take different positions on the issue.
For Wednesday (9/27)
