How do I search for links to current events?

1. Go to the DHS Library Site and click on "Opposing Viewpoints" under the "Contemporary Issues" title.
2.  Look for your topic, or something closely related to it, right there on the front page of the site.  Click on it.
3.  Scan through the articles that appear here and find a few to read.  Note that you are under the "viewpoints" tab, so these are all essays advocating a particular approach or interpretation of the issue.
4.  Select a few of these to read and journal about.
5.  Click on the "News" tab and you will be taken to current news articles.  Here might also be a great place to search!
6.  Go to the DHS Library Site and click on "CQ Researcher" under the "Contemporary Issues" title.  On the left hand side, click on "Issue Tracker" and look for your topic.  Click away!
7.  The task is for you to read and journal on at least three different articles by the start of class on Monday.

For all of  your journal posts that relate to current events, please insert the terms "journal" and "current events" as labels.

The total number of journal entries you need for this sections is a minimum of four: from the "opposing viewpoints" or "contemporary issues" sites, you need to read essays representing different sides of the issue so you can better understand the complexities and ways in which people are making their arguments.  You will also need to include journal responses to two different news items.
