Abstract
This unit focuses on integrating recent journalism (specifically magazine and news articles) as primary sources, and supplemental research as secondary sources of information. As students access the primary sources they will be expected to anticipate and determine the context of the author, as well as the publication. For example, students will be expected to note when an article is written by an indigenous author, or when a company has sponsored an article to promote its new technology.
