The current events review is an opportunity to apply what we have learned in class to think about current issues. You will pick an article related to youth and/or education and write a short (3-4 page maximum) critical response to the article in which you consider the event/issue discussed, the author’s assumptions, and how this article reflects, questions, or reaffirms what we have learned. You must cite at least 3 course readings.
Please take a current news article and analyze both the issue being reported on, and the reporting itself, using scholarly research. The idea is to address current educational issues while also analyzing how various news outlets present those issues—write about inequality in funding across schools.
Some examples of news sources you could draw from include The New York Times, Wisconsin State Journal, Chronicle of Higher Education, Badger Herald, etc. You may use print or digital sources, including blogs, although the blogs need to be of sufficient quality (i.e., not your cousin’s ramblings). Please include a copy of the article with your submission.
