For Full Credit
• Post once, discussing at least one of the questions above. This post should be several paragraphs long.
In this discussion, we will be exploring geographic tools and population issues in the news. For Geographic tools, this includes: maps, GIS, GPS and Remote Sensing (if you don't know what these are yet, read the lecture, then ask me if you are still confused). For population issues, this includes: overpopulation, under population, reproductive issues, health and demographic issues, etc.
Each of you will need to find a recent article (2017 or sooner) in the news connected to the topic of the unit. For this discussion, you will need to do the following:
First Post: • Write one paragraph summarizing the article
• Write one paragraph responding to the article with your own reaction/opinion/insight. This reaction should be about the topic of the article, and not the writing of the article in most instances.
• Include a full citation in MLA or another format, not just the link to the website
