News Briefing Quest 1

I’m studying for my Law class and need an explanation.

For this News Briefing Quest task (15 points), pick and analyze a U.S. political news article from RealClearPolitics. Each task is minimum 250/maximum 350 words, and should follow this outline:

1^st Paragraph: Summarize the article in your own words to avoid TurnItIn from detecting plagiarism (see Academic Honesty policy in the syllabus). For information on how to summarize appropriately, visit Purdue OWL: Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing.

2^nd Paragraph: Relate the article to the topic and readings of the level you are currently completing.

3^rd Paragraph: Present your own opinion about the political issue, and include the link to the article you selected.

Instructions:

2. Pick a news article on a U.S. politics issue not older than seven days from the day you complete this assignment.
3. Include the weblink at the end of your assignment. This is required.
