Class Overview

Groupwork: Choose an article for your response, get article approval, and begin working on the reverse outline, evaluation of sources, and summary needed for 2/17 submission on Brightspace.

Notes: the article must contain sources (it can be an opinion piece, but it needs to be supported), it should be persuasive/argument so you can respond with argument, and it should be about as long as the sample article.
