WSJ Assignment (AP Class)

This weekend I want you to select two articles from the WSJ.  When selecting your articles they should be similar in topics.  For example, pick two articles that deal with the economy or politics, etc.

1. Write a summary of both articles. (Remember to focus on the Who, What, When, Where)

2. Compare and contrast the articles. 
Questions to consider when comparing and contrasting:
Do they both see the topic in a similar way or do they take different sides?
Do they have similar conclusions?
How do they use sources?

3. After comparing the articles, do you think that the editors/writers at the WSJ are biased or do they try to give all sides a fair share?  Explain your thinking.
