3. It might not be enough to go to a website and see a news article immediately. You might have to research. Below is a quick step guide on how to research a topic.

• Let's pretend my topic is global poverty.
  • First, I would go to Google. https://www.google.com/
  • Second, I would type in search words. Get creative. Use different kinds of word combinations. Below are some examples:
    • example 1: type in the google search box– "global poverty globalization NPR"
    • example 2: type in the google search box– "poverty Latin America new york times"
    • example 3: type in the google search box– "poverty globalization Washington post"
• Once you find an article, you will write a 1-2 page paper. Summarize the newspaper article in a well-written paper.
  • Describe the key points/themes/arguments. Provide specific examples from the article to back up those points.
  • Explain how the reading connects to more extensive sociological analyses on globalization, the economy, technology, class, race, gender, inequality, or culture.
    • Connect the newspaper articles to one of the readings. A strong paper uses specific examples over general explanations. It demonstrates that you can link theory to reality and see the connections between your topic and course readings. 
• Your paper must be well-written, have complete sentences, and be grammatically correct
