Submission: A ~600 word write-up based on a news story related to Geology. Date of article/news release should be from July 2020 to now (no old news).
At the top of your entry, include full citation information of article/news item included at the top of your submission. Please be sure you are correctly citing your news source.
Expectations: Find a news item of interest to you related to the wide topic of Geosciences and Earth Science. This should be a news story of substance (more than a couple paragraphs of text or more than 5 minutes of audio/video segment). Read the article/listen to the story carefully and consider how it relates to what we have been learning. Your write up should include a clear summary of the scientific news presented (~1 paragraph) followed by your reflection and commentary of the news. Your own reflection and response is the majority of the write-up.
Examples of things to consider depending on the news item you selected:
What connections did this information have with what we have covered in class?
Did it surprise you?
Does it impact people?
Is the event or topic short-term or long-term?
Be sure to fully describe how it connects to what we have learned in class (or topic we are yet-to-cover). Might do a little behind-the-scenes research to give background information.
