After being introduced to the various databases available through the PSU Library website during our Library Session on Wednesday, I now want you to find three different links to newspaper articles from these databases, each one focused on a different current issue that truly sparks your interest.
For each link: I would like you to provide an MLA citation (show me how you'd cite it on your Works Cited Page, that is). Then, give me a brief summary of the issue and then tell me what your stance on that issue is. You can find more on how to cite various sources in an MLA Works Cited page in the handbook of your Norton Field Guide.
This entry is meant to get you thinking about a topic for your fourth paper: Arguing A Position. It will be important that you pick a controversial, relevant, and timely topic for your paper. I do not want you arguing for the merits of using sunscreen -- that is obvious and not controversial at all. Controversy will be the heart of why your paper topic merit's a discussion. So think about this when finding possible topics for your paper.
Due by class, Friday, October 28
