2) AND FINALLY, ALSO COMPLETE FOR TUES. 9/29: 

Read the Upfront Magazine (Jan. 9, 2017), informational news article "FAKE NEWS FOOLING MILLIONS" pp. 6-7, given to you in class THURS. 9/24 (WRITING SECTION)  

--THEN, in the WRITING section of your binder, complete JOURNAL #4 by answering/responding to BOTH questions below RE: the article:

• Experts say that fake news sites are eroding the public's ability to distinguish between fact and fiction. Why might that be a concern in modern society?

• What does the author [Stoffers] mean when he writes that fake or distorted news is "nothing new" (7)?

**QUICK JOURNAL REMINDERS:

• JOURNAL RESPONSES are 150-200 words (minimum) length, and written or typed responses are fine 
• you may use "I"/"we" [1st person] in these less-formal responses 
• be sure to answer ALL the prompts/questions included and you may also opt to practice "USING THE TEXT to back up your own assertions" (#).

**WRITE OUT OR PRINT THESE OUT YOURSELF BEFORE CLASS! You MUST have a 'hard' copy of each of your journal responses for your BINDER WRITING SECTION!

--MOST OF ALL, BE READY FOR DISCUSSION AND PARTICIPATION POINTS TUESDAY IN CLASS for volunteering and adding to our discussion of this article!
