Student will select two related articles on a social policy/legislative issue from a newspaper, magazine, or the internet to class (Wikipedia is NOT ACCEPTABLE). Students will summarize and provide a brief overview of the articles and their implications for social work. Questions to consider:
Who is impacted by this policy? How are they impacted?
How does it relate to social work? What are some implications
The summary should be no more than 3 pages long (double spaced). Please keep in mind that APA Style is required, and points will be subtracted if that format is not used. Given the length of the assignment, an Abstract is NOT required. The APA requirement applies more so to the citations.
