When you are assigned a virtual visit, you are graded on how you can find a useful newsworthy article and assemble a clear, though provoking opinion of that article so that it may be discussed in the class’ open forum.

Instructions for a Virtual Visit:

First, using the internet find an article relative to the assigned (usually broad) subject matter.

Then carefully read the article

Then put the article away and write a summary of the article, remember to give details that you may use in a general discussion.

Last write a summary, INCLUDING YOUR OPINION of what you learned from the article and if you find the article relevant.

What you are graded on: 100 points

You must CUT the entire web address and include it in the paper- You must submit a web address that will lead directly to the article (www.cnn.com IS NOT ENOUGH).  You can usually select all, cut and paste it into your submission.

Please test this by opening the page from your paper- If it can NOT be opened directly, it does not exist.

Write at least a one-paragraph summary of the article.  More if needed.

Last write a full opinion of the article highlighting the strong points and the weaknesses in you opinion of the article.
