This assignment will prepare you for a similar assignment in a few weeks; you must use 2 different articles, one for this assignment and a different article for the Week 10 assignment. I have kept the topics similar for easier researching.
Using OneSearch or Google Scholar, find an article on free speech, making sure that you abide by the parameters I have discussed with you. Use the filters when you use OneSearch to narrow down your search.
Make sure to email a copy of the article to yourself. Email any other copies that look good as well.
Then, submit the following notes along with a link to your article:
Author(s), “Title of Article,” Name of Journal, Date of Journal, Page numbers of article.*****
A. credentials of author;
B. Purpose for research and/or for writing the article;
C. Brief description of research done by author(s);
D. Conclusions made by author(s) from research; E. Bias in article; explain how you decided;
F. Persuasive mode used in article; give an example from article; G. Special features (graphs, maps, charts, pictures, etc)
****Make sure you submit journal information in APA citation format
