Homework 9/15 Articles

Please select two articles from any news source about the current economic recession. They can be current or archived from the last year and taken from any source but be prepared to share them with the class. If you have general questions about the recession, if you do not understand its causes and effects, look for a more general information article like from a news magazine. If you are more familiar with the causes and effects of the crash, see if you can find articles more specific to a personal interest such as the housing bubble, Wall Street investment practices or the governments response such as TARP or the stimulus package. As always, try to find articles that challenge your understanding or prick a particular interest. For Thursday, be prepared to discuss both the information in the article and your source. Digital, print or video? Biased? Also this week, we will begin our blog conversations so make sure you save the citation information for each article.
