REAL CLEAR POLITICS WRITING ASSIGNMENT FOR MODULE 2

Unfortunately, most people only go to one news source or one ideological news source (liberal or conservative, but not both). This is your chance to do so.

Instructions:

Use the link below to go to real clear politics.com‘s website.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/ (Links to an external site.)

Familiarize yourself with the website. Find one article that discusses a political topic affecting the United States THAT WE COVERED IN MODULE 2. Once you have decided on the political topic you want to write on that we covered in the second module, choose an article from a liberal news source and one article that discusses the same political topic from a conservative news source. A political topic is anything that the government is involved in. This can be at the national, state, county, or city level. On the first page write a summary of the article you read. On the second page write a summary of the other article you read. A SUMMARY IS OBJECTIVE, MEANING YOU ARE TELLING ME WHAT IT SAYS, NOT YOUR OPINION OR THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE READING.
