You are required to submit a brief essay, which discusses one local, state, or national current news article that relates to diversity issues in education.  The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to evaluate current diversity issues and decisions affecting the field of education; thus, the news article that you choose should address diversity issues (race, ethnicity, age, gender, ability, nationality, language, religion, etc.). Your essay should be a critical review of the article, meaning that you should discuss your own opinion regarding the article. Save your file as LastNameFirstNameInitialWeek6
News Article Selection Guidelines
The article or news story that you choose should be 1) found in a newspaper, on a news program, or from another reputable media source; 2) published within the last 5 years; 3) clearly related to the field of education; and 4) clearly addressing diversity issues. 
You can choose your article from the Newspaper Source available at GMC eLibrary. http://www.galileo.usg.edu/express?link=zbns&inst=gamc
Essay Guidelines
Your essay should be brief — 1 to 2-page double-spaced.  Your essay should have three main paragraphs:
1) a summary paragraph that includes a clear introductory sentence (summarize the article),
2) an analysis of author’s key points (identify diversity issues), and
3) a personal application that includes a clear concluding sentence (what did you learn?). 
At the end of the essay, in your reference section, provide the complete citation for the article in APA (including the publication date).  Format the essay and citation in correct APA style. Include at least three references (article, textbook, and an additional reliable source).
Google docs cannot be opened. The professor cannot grade what cannot be opened. Failure to submit this assignment as a Word document may result in a zero for your grade.
Please make sure your assignment is saved as LastnameFirstinitial_Week6.docx
