1. Read the article and describe briefly approximately one paragraph the key topic being discussed in the article.

2. Global Analysis

Analysis is not just restating the facts, but giving your own critical examination of the facts. Look at the details of the article, and even if it was just about something in the US or one specific country, talk about how the issue might vary from country to country and why (if you have evidence from articles to back up your argument).

3. Quantitative Analysis

As stated above, don't just give facts, but also give your own critical examination of the facts.

This means finding some numerical information in the articles, discussing its significance, and trying to draw a meaningful conclusion from it. If there are graphs or figures in the articles, talk about the information they present and the story they are trying to relate. In general, avoid articles with no quantitative information for you to analyze, but if you do use such an article, you will have to discuss what quantitative information you feel the article could have given to make the arguments stronger.

4. What is the ultimate take-away from the article.

Did it change opinion or give new information? Did it give a better understanding of course material, or raise new questions?

5.How is the topic chosen related to society?
