Q1. type your question and use single line spacing also for the possible choices

etc.
etc.
((here is where you can use dbl spacing to separate Q2. from Q3.))

NOTE: At the time this IP was developed, the online newspapers were free – they may require registration, however, you are not expected to ‘purchase‘ a subscription if one is now required.
Do not paste the article(s), only your work that is required for B. C., and D., below.
A. Select a recent current events article (or articles) from the last one – two months pertaining to American Government and Politics (yes, this is pretty broad so there should be no problem finding material). This ‘topic area’ also, of course, includes local and state government/politics, as well as national and foreign policy.
B. Develop five (5) multiple choice questions with four (4) possible responses – (USE AN “*” for the correct response – this is required).
>> Include the URL to access the article where the questions comes from; I must be able to access the URL for you to receive credit.
C. Develop two (2) T/F questions (again, USE AN *” for the correct response – this is required).
>> Include the URL to access the article[s] where each question comes from; I must be able to access the URL for you to receive credit.
D. Develop two (2) short essay type questions (with a brief possible response – this is required).
>> Include the URL to access the article[s] where each question comes from; I must be able to access the URL for you to receive credit.
How will I evaluate and assign points; by reading the questions submitted and gauging their relevance to American Government and Politics AND, the learning, lessons and insights offered through your work and the depth of critical coverage.
