You may also use no more than two articles from reputable online newspapers, magazines, or journals. If you are in doubt about a source, please contact me. A good way to evaluate an article obtained through a google search is to look for a date, author's name, and citation at the bottom of the page. This is not foolproof, however.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Bring to class:
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; line-height: 1.5;">A first draft of your paper (or as much of a first draft as you can produce). By now you should have a strong thesis statement and be well on your way to providing support for your assertion.
