Information:
In class on WEEK 4, you are responsible for reporting on a news story pertinent to
your career path: Personal Support Work. Use the following steps to complete the
assignment:
Step 1: Find and read/watch/listen to a news item from no earlier than 2018.
Step 2: Compose a 1.5 to 2 page summary report detailing the following:
Who is the article about? Who wrote it?
Where/When was it written? Source.
What is the article about? Most important points?
Why was the article written? Your opinion.
How does it relate to Personal Support Work?
Step 3: Create an APA cover page and a Reference page which will use APA formatting
to cite your source. There will be a lesson on this.
Step 4: Sign up for a presentation time and article on the Google form.
Step 5: Present the information to the class in a 2-3 minute presentation that reiterates the points in Step 2.
Step 6: Hand your paper in through BRIGHTSPACE by Friday, October 8 at midnight. You do not have to submit presentation materials.
Format:
Your report should include an APA-style cover page, 1-2 pages of summary writing,
and a Reference page listing your news article, and any other material you have used.
Refer to the APA manual to ascertain how to complete your APA citations.
Presentation Dates/Submission:
You will sign up for your presentation via Google docs. You must also list your
article, so that others do not use the same media. Failure to show up on Zoom for the
presentation will result in a mark of 0 for that aspect of the assignment.
