Make sure your article is from a credible source (ex: Newsday, News 12, New York Times, etc.).  You will then respond to this article on the blog.  Responses should be 6-8 sentences long and are due at the end of the period.  Please make sure your response: 
  • Includes the title of the article AND the URL (see above)
  • Is appropriate 
  • Summarizes the article
  • Incorporates a quote from the article
  • States what in particular made you choose this article
  • Any other specific reflections you may have
