Reading a Magazine Article

For today, please choose one of these articles.  All of them are from recent issues of their respective magazines:

• Cheap Words: Amazon is Good for Reading but Is It Good for Books?
• Bigger Than Phil: When Did Faith Start to Fade?
• A Valuable Reputation: After Tyrone Hayes Said That a Chemical Was Harmful, Its Maker Pursued Him
• A Botched Operation: Steven Brigham's abortion clinics keep being sanctioned for offering substandard care. Why is he still in business?
• Going the Distance: On and Off the Road with Barack Obama

When you are finished reading your article, you will write a blog post about it.  At the top of the screen, click on "new post" to get started.  Here's what you will need to include, and remember, what you are writing will be seen by others - you are publishing it to a blog, not simply turning in a class assignment.

1. Give your post a title that gives a sense of what the article was about and / or your opinion about it.
2. In the post itself, be sure to include a link back to the story.  How do you do this?
1. Copy the URL of the story.
2. Type the text into your blog - something like "here is a link to the story I read" - that you want to serve as the linked text.
3. Highlight that text, click "link" at the top of the post editor window, and paste the URL where it says "To what URL should this link go?"
3. The post needs to be a paragraph long response to the article, including these elements, but not necessarily in this order:
1. What is the main point / argument of the article?
2. Do you agree or disagree with its assertions?
3. Which parts of it did you find most interesting / challenging / surprising?
1. Include a quotation about this
4. What questions are you left with as a result of reading this article?

Please have this completed by the start of class tomorrow.
