Find a newspaper article about WWI. It needs to be from 1914-1919. Summarize it. What does it tell us about the causes of the war? Are there any fears about the conflict? How does the article talk about the different sides of the conflict? Is there any bias? What stands out to you? Be sure that your article contains enough information to really analyze it. A short blurb will not work. You must include a working link, otherwise I will not accept it. I will award up to 10 points, depending on the quality of analysis and explanation given. These points will be added to the short essay 2 grade.
