Note: choosing appropriate concepts/theories for your analysis is part of what is being assessed here. Think carefully about what concepts help you analyze your article in a meaningful way.

Article Title: Write the title of the article you chose here. 

Paragraph 1: Choose and define one course concept or theory from the list provided that you think will help you analyze this article (5 pts)

· Choose a concept or theory from the list provided that applies to this example.

· Identify and define the concept in your own words.

· Do not connect this to the material yet – just define it.

· (This paragraph can be only 1-2 sentences)

Paragraph 2: Choose and define a second course concept or theory relevant to your analysis (5 pts)

· Choose another concept or theory from the list provided that applies to this example.

· Identify and define the concept in your own words.

· Do not connect this to the material yet – just define it.

· 

· (This paragraph can be only 1-2 sentences)

Paragraph 4: Analyze the article (55 pts: 10pts for appropriate use of each concept, 35 points for overall analysis)

· Succinctly analyze the news article you chose.

· Use both concepts to support your analysis.

· You can use a concept to offer further clarification of what the article is saying or as a means to critique what the article is saying.

· Remember - you are using the concepts to analyze the article rather than using parts of the article to describe the concepts.

· If there are parts of the article that contradict the main analysis you are making using your concepts, be sure to address this in some way.

· Make sure that your analysis is geographic - keep the importance of place, spatial relations, scalar analysis and/or networks in mind.

Paragraph 5: Reflect (15 pts)

· Critically reflect on the example and your concepts. Where do you see power at play?

· Possible questions to guide your reflection: What perspective was taken by the author of the article? What other perspectives might there be? Who would theses various perspectives benefit and/or exclude. What other questions could be asked or perspectives taken that would change the interpretation of this situation? What additional information would you need to craft a more informed understanding of the power relations related to this situation?

· Note: if you use questions in this section, be sure to include the thought process that led you to that question in order to gain more points.

Note on Citations: If you draw upon general ideas from class or put concepts in your own words, you do not need to cite them. However, if you draw on a specific phrase or a specific example from either the readings or the lecture videos, then you do need to cite them for reasons of academic integrity. A bibliography of the major sources used in the Readers is available at the end of each reader. I will accept any of the major citation styles: APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.
