We will start class today with analyzing your 2 articles you have selected for your issue of interest.  

Think about which issues you are most concerned/interested in that you could possibly research, write about and do an advocacy project for in Unit 4. In the "presearch" document (in your WH Drop Folder), add your top 3 issues, consider which themes/concepts this issue connects with (beliefs/values, power, conflict, change, etc.), state why you are interested and provide at least 2 sources for each issue.

You can bring in digital copies/links-- just have them ready and be sure you've read through them to ensure they present information on your selected global issue from 2 different perspectives/view points.
