Minimum of 800 words (*which means write a bit more than 800 words–NOT counting the running header, the identifier, the title, or the WC page citations if any) to ensure no issue with the “Minimum Standards” grading statement)
1″ margins
Double-spaced
10-12 pt. Times New Roman font (no others accepted)
Standard indented paragraphs with NO additional spacing between paragraphs (check the “Before/After” spacing in the Formatting of MSWord and make certain it is set to 0pt for the document)
MLA-formatted in-text citations and an MLA-formatted Works Cited page ARE required if sources/materials not self-generated are used but do not count to overall text/page length.
Content–Select a “recent” article (within the past month) that is concentrated on your chosen theme (Censorship/Education, Government/Politics, or Environment/Nature).  It does NOT have to specifically be about the theme as its main topic…only have the theme as the underlying concept of the article.
Analyze the material in the article to discover/define the author’s perspective and biases with regards to the topic being discussed (i.e. the paper is exploring what the author of the article ACTUALLY personally thinks about the topic they are writing about rather than what they’re actually writing–this is NOT a summary of the article but an exploration of the subtext).
Why are certain phrases and quotes (from other individuals) employed by the author? What do those phrases and quotes say about the author’s biases?  Why did they select those quotes?
How are “facts” utilized by the author? How are the “facts” presented? How does this indicate the author’s “real” opinion on the topic?
What biases come out due to these methods? How does the author’s public verbiage belie their actual personal/private opinions/feelings?
Employ quotes from the article to substantiate (“back up”) your claims and observations.
