WEEK 1: CREDIBILITY, REASON, AND EMOTION

This week, you have read about the rhetorical appeals of credibility, reason, and emotion and the role of information literacy in responsible research. For your initial post this week, find a current event article from a reputable news outlet and provide an academic summary. In your summary, you must include the following. 

• A summary of the central idea or argument of the article
• An explanation of the topic
• An analysis of how the appeals of credibility, reason, and emotion operate in the article
• A paraphrase of at least one example used in the article
• An APA citation of the article

As the week continues, we will discuss techniques for revising and improving your summary skills.
