Each week you will be required to write a reaction to an Internet article from a newspaper from any Spanish speaking country. You will share your chosen article each Monday with the class as a brief oral presentation. Each student should search Mundolatino or other recommended sites and please follow the instructions carefully.

• Choose a country and a specific newspaper and include this information in your reaction.

• Find an article about Latin America and/or Spain in SPANISH and PRINT at least the first page of the article to attach it to your assignment. If you do not follow these instructions, there will be a 10% grade reduction.

• Each item should be related to themes concerning politics, economics, socio-cultural topics, race relations, immigration, indigenous peoples, and/or relations with the United States.

• NO NEWS BRIEFS WILL BE ACCEPTED. You may NOT choose articles concerning topics such as the weather, car accidents, arrests, etc, which cannot be related effectively to culture.

• Your TYPED & DOUBLE SPACED reaction to the article must be at least 150 words. You must include the name of the newspaper, its country of origin, and the date. You must also provide a very brief summary of the main idea of the article with your reaction to it (e.g. why it was of interest to you and whether or not you agree with it).
